This aspect can be called the crusader rabbit, with lots of energy and enthusiasm for idealistic causes. There's a string of Democratic losers who had this aspect. Some of these include Hillary C linton, John Kerry, Walter Mondale, George McGovern, and Hubert Humphrey. These great crusaders are not as appealing in a general election, because Americans typically don't like crusaders. Others with this aspect include Tulsi Gabbard, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi and libertarians Ron Paul and William Weld. But, it's just one aspect among others that affect the score (Tulsi's is still positive now at 11-6).

Others who have some degree of crusader rabbit traits have the Mars-Neptune square instead of the trine, like Dukakis and Kamala Harris, but overall the square is a wash. Same with Bill Clinton's famous conjunction of the two planets on his ascendant.

-- so your best prospects appear 2 be Bernie & Tulsi, who the public luv but the DNC hate. The DNC really need 2 keep their grimy hands off next yrs primaries & let the ppl do the voting

I see no chance for either of them.  Bernie is simply too old to be elected, though he has a shot at the nomination.  The same applies to Biden and may also apply to others including Elizbeth Warren.  As to Tulsi, she's too abrasive to get nominated.  To be honest, I haven't seen anyone that's really ideal so far.  Pete Buttigieg may be a great option in the future, but 37 is awfully young to make the final cut this cycle.  None of the others stand out for me.
