Bernie Sanders Dating Site Crashes After Millions Try To Register
http://samuel-warde.com/2016/02/bernie-sanders-dating-site-crashes-form-influx-of-traffic/



The web site that claims to match up Bernie Sanders supporters for romantic interludes and relationships has been inundated by so much traffic that the site was forced to display an announcement on their front page redirecting people to their Facebook Group page.

The [link:berniesingles.com |berniesingles.com ]front page reads:

WE WENT VIRAL!
We’re now trending on Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. We reached 1000 members in less than an hour… Which means, upgrade server time! We have our team working nonstop.
They provide a link for donations to help them upgrade the site and server as well as links to their Facebook Group.

The site apparently links Bernie Sanders supporters with other supporters looking for love – the only qualifications apparently required are that members #feelthebern.

The Facebook group, which requires that members be approved, is filled with Bernie memes and ardent Bernie supporters. And while on the surface the site and Facebook group appear to be a dating site, the usual kissy and muscle flexing pics aren’t as prominent as one would expect from a dating site. Instead, what seems to be happening on the page is a younger generation speaking and sharing intelligently about Bernie Sanders as a viable candidate for the 2016 election – including some who are self-admitted registered Republicans.

The Description of the group reads:

Do you love Bernie? Do you need a lover? Let’s play! (But play by the rules. This isn’t a lawless land of love.)

1. LOL too much love

[pinebox]

2. LOL I figured it was time for a little humor in GD-P

[Kalidurga]

3. There is almost never a bad time for humor.

Funerals are the only inappropriate time I can think of at the moment.

4. Quite true!

It's kind of like bedtime, the same sort of thing and with that, good night! XD

[Buns_of_Fire]

11. I say we put the FUN back in FUNeral!

The people of New Orleans have it right. Have a big jazz funeral, with street dances and a parade, and everything.

"Uh, where's the casket?"
"Casket? I thought YOU had it!"

[Kalidurga]

13. Well I did almost crack up at my mom's funeral.

But, please bear in mind I had just found out she wasn't married to my father at least not until around 2004 which was 41 years after she had said they had gotten married. So, at the funeral the pastor says something something about their long long marriage that started in 1963....

5. I predict Bernie will be most popular baby name of 2017

[Kalidurga]

6. Well I am never going to have kids again so...

when I get a parakeet...

[Cheese Sandwich]

7. What would be either really cool or really annoying would be a

talking parrot that repeated Bernie Sanders lines all the time.

Talking about the top one tenth of one percent and stuff.

[Kalidurga]

8. LOL

That would be cool as far as I am concerned. My family wouldn't like it much though.

[Fumesucker]

9. Brawwk! Polly wants universal single payer.. Brawwk!

[PonyUp]

14. My brother had a cockatoo that yelled just like his wife. He divorced her and gave away the bird.nt

10. You mean, Gloria Steinem was right? (Only it goes both ways...?)

Or maybe this site got the idea from her?

BEST DATE IN TOWN: GO TO BERNIE SANDERS HQ!

Did you see that great Bernie ad today, here--I think independently produced--that uses Connie Francis' iconic 1960 song, "Where the Boys Are." Really great song. Really brings it all back. I was 16 at the time and "bird-dogging" precincts for JFK. That IS "where the boys were," then. And the girls. Haven't been so excited about an election since that summer...until now.

Ah, me.

12. Maybe the idea arose after a news article came out in the last

couple weeks of some women being kicked off a dating site because they were promoting Bernie on the site.

15. I think that was Tinder? Tindr?

Saw a blurb about it on a news feed screen while I was waiting at the DMV, of all places.
