The kids are alright... and they have a new Bernie meme.

I've seen this a few times: when someone posts a picture of a large crowd, someone invariably says, "Was #BernieSanders there?" or something similar.

I think it's a backhanded way to show social media we all know Bernie is drawing enormous crowds, but, I admit, I love that's it a new meme.

Here's two examples:

That's cool, Bernie is right. "The same old, same old will not be successful." Autumn Aug 2015 #1

And, when I say, "kids," I mean young adults. Fawke Em Aug 2015 #2

I'm 45 and the parent of a 16 and an 8 year old.

My son says all the "real" kids (under 18 - he's in high school) in his school (and we're in Tennessee) are either a fan of Trump or Sanders.

But the posts I've seen on Twitter that use this new "meme" are by young adults who, at least to me, look old enough to vote.
