"PJ Media has included one Democrat who is considering a presidential run. Seven of the twelve ranked more liberal than an outright socialist."
Most liberal: Eric Swalwell:"According to the ACU, the most liberal 2020 Democrat is Eric Swalwell. In 2017, he voted conservative 4 percent of the time, and he did so in 2018 as well. But his lifetime rating is 3.98 percent, the worst among presidential candidates.
And he is from California, elected by Californians in the Bay Area city of Alameda.
Oh, and the Obama-esque Bobby O'Rourke: he "has a creepy cult-like following, and he seems totally obsessed with himself, but he is one of the most conservative Democrats running in 2020. That said, he still has less than a 10 percent lifetime conservative voting record. According to the ACU, he voted 4 percent conservative in 2017 and 8 percent in 2018, earning a lifetime rating of 8.08 percent."
Most, um...conservative: Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio)
"Tim Ryan, the only 2020 Democrat to score more than a 10 percent lifetime rating with the ACU, is running a Midwest-focused campaign aimed at the "forgotten men and women" Donald Trump courted in 2016. That said, Ryan is far from moderate, and he ranks among the least memorable of the 2020 field."
Where they all "stood" on the "Green New Deal": "Every Democrat senator running for president — Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) — voted "present," refusing to take a stance on the legislation most of them have endorsed in public.
"Many of these candidates announced their support for a Green New Deal even while choosing to vote "present" on the bill sponsored by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)".
