Personality i would pick Bernie Sanders but he's unfortunately too old now but i would love a President that isn't crazy enough and would focus on just getting the Nation healed from the Craziness that happened.

At 2020 debates I rooted for Elizabeth Warren. I live on the other side of the world and know nothing about american politics, but still think she would've been great president.

Jon Stewart.

I was actually thinking about Jon Stewart earlier today. I'd probably vote for him: he's an intelligent, empathetic and charismatic guy, doesn't want to be in power and has done more good for Americans than a huge chunk of professional politicians in this country of ours.
Jon Stewart seems like a stand up guy.

Win or lose her run is going to be the stuff of legends, and personally I can't wait to vote for her.

That one would definitely send the conservatives I work with completely over the edge lol

without a doubt, bernie would have been amazing in 2016, but he has inspired a significant revival of left-ish leaning, socially aware young politicians and citizenry - so there is that. as others have said, jon stewart and stephen colbert for some sane comic relief would be interesting.
looking for some serious reponses as well so I can research and follow.

Andy Beshear, the governor of Kentucky. The way he handled the pandemic in KY felt like a kind of leadership we haven't seen in many decades.

Andrew Yang had me more interested in political activity than I've ever been before.
Unfortunately he's devolved quite a bit over the last few years, but his concerns around AI have certainly come to fruition recently.

For what it's worth, Cornel West just turned 70, has views similar to Bernie Sanders, and is running for the Green Party nomination.
However, the media tends to marginalize third-party candidates.

Cornell West used to have views similar to Bernie Sanders. The Cornell West that is running for president right now I do not recognize.

Whoever doesn't want the job. Seriously, if you WANT the job, you should immediately be disqualified.

They keep promising things that require congressional support. But the problem is if they didn't make those kinds of promises, the other guy would and voters would reward that. It's pretty fucked.

Steve Schmidt. He has a long history as a conservative strategist which is a huge red flag for me, but I think it would actually make him more palatable to right-wingers. I watch his show 'The Warning' and he makes a lot of sense with his positions. He is extremely clear in his criticisms of Trump, but he also doesn't focus on culture war nonsense. I'm willing to compromise as long as the person can think straight and face reality, which is seemingly an extremely high bar now.
