[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bernie Sanders with Tulsi Gabbard as VP.

Both can appeal to the base and pull disenfranchised working class voters from Trump. Most importantly they’re both solidly on the side of old-school Democrat values and aren’t neo-liberals in blue collar costumes, like Bill Clinton and Biden. Their authenticity and lack of BS make them stand out in the field. They also try to not traffic too much in identity politics, which has been a wedge issue that Republicans have used to pry people who have always historically voted D. A Bernie / Gabbard ticket is not losing Michigan and Pennsylvania, for example. Gabbard’s straight forward demeanor, lack of relative pretense (for a politician), military service and consistently strong non-interventionist, anti-corporate stances make her the anti-Hillary and a very hard person for Trump to go after. She’d also be a way to encourage women voters, even moderate Rs, to vote for the Dems.[/quote]

[b]Wow, this sounds like an actual formula for defeating Trump, not another re-tread by entrenched Democrats who just want to keep their (and their plutocratic masters') gravy trains going. Are you sure you're in the right place?[/b][/quote]
Bernie will be 79 years old by 2020.  He is far less appealing to the young people and minorities than Beto and Kamala Harris would be (and no one who knows anything about politics would insist they have plutocratic masters.)  Tulsi Gabbard hasn't expressed any interest in running for President, but I guess in your land of outer space, that's not an issue.  Tammy Duckworth would be a better option as a military hero with more experience.
