Yes and no:These are the best candidates that are functional with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)
Elizabeth Warren used to actually be an strong advocate for consumer protection laws, and Financial reform (credit card interest rates, banking regulations, property taxes, estate transference, etc) but she became truly unhinged and an absolute joke after 2015 with Trumps success.
Bernie has (to his credit) a solid history of progressive/socialist beliefs, but he has the integrity of being genuinely consistent in his beliefs, and a strong track record for general distention against the mainstream opinions (The Iraq War, The Bailout being targeted towards companies instead of citizens, etc)
Joe is indeed a centrist. neoliberal Democrat who is a fairly decent democrat (except he's ancient and corrupt).
Hillary was the embodiment of evil though, so these candidates will be better to face off against Trump, cause at least they will lose handily and I won't actually fear for our nation...

Hillary has a broom in her closet if she needs to make a fast getaway.

Tulsi would have been better, but like Bernie, the Democrat establishment couldn't allow it.
