Many are feeling the Bern. Others are getting Berned out.
Whats up with that?
Joe Biden promised unity, but Bernie Sanders brought everybody together on social media.
A photo of Sanders looking frumpy and a tad bored at Wednesdays inauguration led to millions of memes around the planet and in outer space.
Local postings show Bernie at a cannabis shop, Dicks burgers, Schack Art Center, stealing a chair from Office Depot with anti-tax activist Tim Eyman, and on the sidewalk with Everetts beloved tattooed patriot, Samiu Bloomfield.

(25,949 posts)If things like this began bothering me to the extent that I made posts rallying others to rise up in protest about something so innocuous, Id question whether its time to take a break.

(1,977 posts)Let me know when the guy actually does something notable. I voted for him in the primaries because Biden was going ti win MN and I like Bernies ideas (really democrats ideas) and think they should have support behind him, but I dont get his celebrity status and the attention he gets. There just isnt much if an actual record of him getting anything dine for me to get super excited about him. He is just an old dude that is repeating many things other Democrats have said many times before him. Big whoop.

(1,977 posts)But really he accomplishes so little for the amount of actual work he gets done. Its east to sit there screaming about policy when you know damn well it will never pass. Boring. I am sorry but there is nothing interesting about a guy complaining that the minority party isnt doing enough for the ideas he has that he stole from that same party. Its just bullshit grandstanding and unhelpful. The guy is kind if a turd if you ask me. But hey look at the funny looking old dude. Ha ha ha... ha ha....erm ha.

(1,977 posts)The reason he annoys me most of all is his attacks on our party.

Autumn
(45,109 posts)think pointing out what Dems should be doing is shitting on Dems you might want to rethink that. I'm nit sure President Biden thinks he shits on Dems. YMOFV but who cares. And you are wrong I know a few Republicans who are fed up with the healthcare mess and think Bernie's M4A would be a great thing to do. You might need to get out of your little bubble.

Every dollar is desperately needed in this crisis. The more this image stays going, the more people can be helped.
Definitely feeling the Bern... for ending food insecurity

The next town over has the World's Larges Straight-backed chair (it's even in the Guinness Book of World Records) anyway, someone put Bernie up in the chair.
It's fun. And I love that he's raising money for hungry constituents. I'd buy a sweatshirt, but it's not in my budget.
