Bernie's mittens: Feel the Bern? Or are you Berned out?



Many are feeling the Bern. Others are getting Berned out.

What’s 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 Wednesday’s inauguration led to millions of memes around the planet and in outer space.

Local postings show Bernie at a cannabis shop, Dick’s burgers, Schack Art Center, stealing a chair from Office Depot with anti-tax activist Tim Eyman, and on the sidewalk with Everett’s beloved tattooed patriot, Samiu Bloomfield.

Was funny at first -- but now, it might be easier just to post the pics where Bernie HASN'T been photoshopped in...

But these things play themselves out quick. But it was something everyone was doing and everyone seemed to like.

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, I’d question whether it’s time to take a break.

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 don’t get his celebrity status and the attention he gets. There just isn’t 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.

To many, that is a big fucking whoop. As a Progressive I can appreciate that.

But really he accomplishes so little for the amount of actual work he gets done. It’s 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 isn’t 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.

He didn't attain that kind of clout because he's a "turd"

I think Bernie had gathered a few fans on the other side. Just when I think one can't be topped another one comes along.

Don't be fooled. I guarantee that no one on the other side supports any of his policies, and every one of them would vote for Trump over Bernie.

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.

Bring. It. On.

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

I never seem to get over how clever people can be.

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.

However, as it feeds our collective appetite for pablum, memes and bumper stickers like Pet Rocks and Mood Rings, I'll simply stand back and watch the consumer do what the consumer does best.

A friend is obsessed with it, lol, so I get a Bernie pic once or twice a day.

She’s not even a Bernie fan.
