    She'd be an excellent, outside-the-box candidate that might appeal to many of the progressives that were alienated by the way Saunders was treated by the DNC establishment this cycle.

    Full disclosure: I tend to be pretty left wing...for a Canadian. So, that bias will be present in the what I'm about to write.

    But I think they main reason why the Democrats lost the election was that made the mistake of tacking the right and nominating Margaret Thatcher V 2.0, and relying on the premise that "I'm not that guy" would be an adequate campaign strategy to use against Trump. Personally, I'm of the opinion that not much good will come from the current administration and the fact that the RNC holds control of all three executive branches (hope I'm wrong, of course)...But the fact is, Trump did a much better job of representing tangible change than HRC did. If the Democrats hope to unseat him in 2020, they're gonna have to do considerably more than pay lip service to the progressive wing while attempting to continue the policies of neo-liberalism that both parties have relied on since the 80's.

    Switching to:
    (Pedraza-Davis): Davis SD (edit: was Davis UD for the league, Draw for Crowning pick)
    (Vargas-Berchalt): Vargas KO for the league

    Your league picks and your picks on other league-related contest should be one and the same

    Thanks. Is that a rule? In that case I'll go for:

    Davis SD

    It's just that with the Crowning rules, the closer player to the actual result wins. So the optimal strategy is different to league picks.

    E.g.1: if I think Pedraza-Davis is a exactly 50-50 fight, statistically I'm best to pick a draw for Crowning and let my opponent choose which fighter to pick while I take the Draw+the other fighter. For a league pick, however, the draw is most unlikely so I ought to pick one or the other winning.

    Or 2: let's say I think DeGale-Jack is 40% Degale KO, 20% Degale decision, 40% Jack wins. Statistically now I should choose Degale decision for crowning, giving me a 60% chance of winning, whereas I should go Degale KO for the league to maximize the chance of getting the result correct.
