Can Bernie Sanders regain the magic of the 2016 run, before the DNC stacked the deck to knock him out and allow Hillary her attempt at coronation? Especially when there are so many leftist nutjobs running?
‘The Bern’ returns: Bernie Sanders announces entry into crowded 2020 Democratic field
Sen. Bernie Sanders is running for president again.
The independent from Vermont made the announcement about 2020 Tuesday morning in an interview with a public radio station in his state.
“We began the political revolution in the 2016 campaign, and now it’s time to move that revolution forward,” Sanders said.
Sanders also sent a campaign email announcing his that he will once again seek the Democratic nomination, jumping into an already crowded field of nearly a dozen candidates, with many more expected to join. (snip)
In his last campaign, Sanders labeled himself a democratic socialist and focused on social and economic justice, a platform seen as too radical by many in the Democratic Party establishment.
This time around, those same ideas – such as Medicare for all, a livable minimum wage, free college tuition – have been embraced by mainstream candidates seeking the Democratic nomination.

And here’s a part of his announcement email, which is similar to the above video (full text is at the first link above)
Our campaign is not only about defeating Donald Trump, the most dangerous president in modern American history. It is not only about winning the Democratic nomination and the general election.
Our campaign is about transforming our country and creating a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice.
In other words, fundamentally transforming the United States into Venezuela. Every complaint in the rest of his message should be though of with the notion of “transforming our country”.
