Challenges facing the Democrats in the primary season

The 2020 US presidential election is about a year and a half away, and the Democratic primary season is about to unfold.

In recent times, the socio-political scenes in scores of countries around the world have been turning toxic. A creeping polarisation among political forces is taking hold, accompanied by a culture of demonising the adversaries, use of vitriolic and bareknuckle hate rhetoric.
