Warning: If you're sick and tired of reading or hearing about the Democratic primaries, this post ain't for you. Since Bernie Sanders destroyed the Nevada caucus, the media seems to be freaking out. People from both parties are freaking out. And while we're starting to feel a bit politically fatigued, we've still got the memes to bring some entertaining edge to this political nightmare. This mix of memes, while mostly devoted to Sanders (the Democratic front runner) should be able to satisfy any democrat with a taste for memes.

Twitter is unsurprisingly abuzz with a lot of hot political takes this primary season, but some people are having more fun with the content than others. Writer Nicole Najafi is proof. On Saturday, Najafi shared nine imaginary dates with the most popular democratic presidential candidates, and most of them are delightfully amusing - and in our opinion, pretty damn accurate. Of course Michael Bloomberg would find a way to work in some Spanish. We've included Najafi's dates in this gallery, but you can take in the whole damn thread right here.

Last night was a big win for Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire, but it was a sad day for the Yang Gang. Andrew Yang announced that he was dropping out of the presidential race. He spoke to his followers in Manchester explaining his rationale:

"While there is great work left to be done, you know I am the math guy, and it is clear tonight from the numbers that we are not going to win this race, I am not someone who wants to accept donations and support in a race that we will not win. And so, tonight I am announcing I am suspending my campaign for president."

It's a move than many are calling mature - and one that anyone who has been donating to candidates can respect. While some people may be mourning the loss of Yang's proposed Universal Basic Income, we're still basking in the memes this math maniac inspired. And here's a few of 'em to help us see him out. 

Instagram user @bringbackdialup discovered one way to make the Democratic debate last night a bit more bearable. In a multi-photo upload to the image sharing site, he shared that "If you put your phone really close to the top of your tv and tilt it down all these candidates look really big brained." The resulting images of presidential hopefuls such as Bernie Sanders and Andrew Yang are absolutely ridiculous, but a welcome laugh for people suffering from election and general political fatigue.
