There are no less than 42,000 people running for the Democratic party's nomination for President. To help you put them in context, Inside 485 is proud to present our guide to the 2020 Democratic nominees, if they were Charlotte restaurants.
Pete Buttigieg - Tavern on the Tracks
Big hit with Midwesterners
Solid 3rd choice if nothing else works out
Almost no black fans
Elizabeth Warren - Providence Road Sundries
Counter culture, if you know nothing about counter culture
You probably checked it out once on Google, but passed
Folksy
Andrew Yang - Flying Saucer
Way the fuck out there
Beloved by a small group of college kids
Afterthought
Bernie Sanders - Skylark Social Club
Populist
Gravitated toward by poor millennials with no healthcare
Wants to cause breakups
Kamala Harris - Thomas Street Tavern
Fun, but like mom fun
Not quite as good as it should be on paper
Loves cops
Joe Biden - Ed's Tavern
Old
Nobody's first choice
Remained exactly the same even as the community changed around it
Tulsi Gabbard - Lebowski's
You've probably got exactly one friend who's really into it
Small, dedicated base of mostly Republicans
Associates heavily with White Russians
Tim Steyer - Snooze AM
No one can figure out exactly why it's here
Bland
Flushed with cash
Cory Booker - Petra's
More interesting a few years ago
Quirky in a 2005 Williamsburg hipster kind of way
Gay, but it's like a poorly kept secret
Amy Klobuchar - Dilworth Tasting Room
Down tempo
Moderate, but with a little funk
Really, really likable, but lost in the shuffle
Mike Bloomberg - Merchant and Trade
Symbol of affluence
Media darling
Intriguing option, but you don't feel like changing
