given that I'm a foreigner, get physically ill of the US (and my own) M$M, and get most of my news on the US from DU, I don't have any names handy really. I could say Bernie Sanders of course, he'd get my vote in a heartbeat. On edit: disclaimer: I'm a leftie in Europe, and I consider social democrats over here traitors because they went along with the bank bailout + society-killing austerity for the South.

Laelth did a thread on "If not Warren, then who" which did not yield many names with support.

I guess it's a testimony to the capture of the democratic process by the media and their puppeteers and to the culture of celebrity that alternatives aren't known. Surely they exist.
