Almost 4 months later, and it seems like the field has narrowed to Sanders, Warren, and Biden.
Warren/Buttigieg sounded good a while back, but that opportunity clearly disappeared this week when he sided with the plutocrats, saying "We’re not going to beat Trump with pocket change." Maybe Mayor Pete needs the big donors, but clearly Warren and Sanders raise more money with the poor donors like me while they threaten the plutocrats with taxation.
Kirsten Gillibrand dropped out a while back. And Hillary Clinton started attacking Tulsi Gabbard (Democrat) and Jill Stein (Green) as Russian assets, which... isn't fully rational. Heaven forbid that any liberal voter might favor a candidate who isn't supported by the Democrat politburo.

So, far, I appear to have a 2/3 chance to vote for a Democrat in the national election next year. My favorites are in the lead at the moment, so I'm happy with how things are turning out. And rumors are that most of "the squad" will be supporting Sanders. Omar already did. And suddenly his campaign is looking a lot less old-white-male.
