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.

About six months ago, a photo of Bernie and Jane Sanders popped up on r/SandersForPresident. The image depicts the couple walking into famed discount clothing store Ross Dress for Less. The relatable photo made a viral appearance on Twitter this weekend after Josh Androsky shared it to the social media site. Users quickly began meme-ing the image and contributing some quality one liners to the thread - there's even a shop of the twosome entering a Hot Topic instead of Ross. As candid candidate photos go, this one takes the cake. Everybody loves a bargain. We've put together some of the best reactions to the photo in this gallery, but you can take in more gold right here.
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.
Just when we thought that election takes couldn't get any more cringey, Twitter user @rapscallison has raised the bar. Yesterday she nearly broke our timeline when she started a thread designating the remaining democratic candidates as Broadway musicals. While the cringe is kinda real, this will probably appeal to those of you who both follow politics and love musicals. And in our heart of hearts, we have to admit that OP's choices are pretty scary accurate.
Life would be way less fun if music wasn't a thing. Life would also be less fun if memes weren't a thing. These music memes combine our two favorite things in a fantastically entertaining way. This diverse selection riffs on everything from black metal to rap, so there's jokes here for lovers of pretty much any genre. Enjoy!
Old habits die hard, and according to this new Twitter meme, you don't have to be in high school to roast people over music. And what kind of people does Twitter just love to troll and meme? Politicians. The latest victim is Mayor Pete Buttigieg, one of several Democratic candidates vying for the 2020 presidency.
The meme uses an April 2019 photo of Buttigieg making a radio appearance, but in the last month the photo has been used by Twitter users to mock the dude musically. Folks are pairing the photo of Mayor Pete in lime green headphones with "bad" or absurd artists. It's a low-effort meme, but the site seems to be enjoying them. And Bernie Sanders even makes an appearance in a few iterations. We're not going to pretend that the meme is doing anything revolutionary, but we're having fun with it. It's definitely more creative than people calling each other names!
You're probably kind of sick of hearing about the 2020 Iowa Democratic Caucus disaster, but we're happy to report that some good did come out of the debacle. While it took forever to determine that Bernie Sanders was the winner, his overdue victory speech spawned a ton of Vince McMahon-style multi-panel reaction images. Some of them are predictably political in nature, but many veer to the relatable & gaming meme sectors. They're a refreshing take on the Galaxy Brain format, and while they may not last as long as it took to get the results of the caucus, we're enjoying them while we can.
From Bernie wanting your financial support, to the Oof Stones, to the Superbowl halftime show, we've rounded up some of the most popular dank memes of the week for your enjoyment! So sit back, relax and enjoy some excellent memes, courtesy of us here at Memebase!

What started as Bernie Sanders writing an innocent thank you note to his field staff on a white board turned into memers filling it in with hotter takes and less savory messages. Seriously, people should know better at this point than to post images on the internet of people with white boards. It's just asking for bad news.
Last night the 2020 Iowa Democratic Caucus stirred up quite the controversy when it was announced that the results would be delayed due to "inconsistencies" in a new app meant to speed up the reporting results of the caucus. Ironic, to say the least.
But hang tight, because they're set to be released at 5 pm Eastern Time.
Ahead of the results being released, Pete Buttigieg gave what appeared to be a victory speech last night to the confusion of many. The bizarre move has lead many to believe that the system may have been rigged in Mayor Pete's favor.
As always, we have to give the disclaimer that we're not picking sides; we're merely reporting on what the internet has been saying, so scroll down to see some of our favorite reaction memes and tweets while we all wait impatiently for the results.
We shouldn't just be rewarded for big accomplishments. Here at Memebase, we think people should be rewarded for the little and thankless things we tackle every day. Did you answer the phone when your mom called? You deserve a pat on the back. Pick up coffee for your coworker who annoys the sh*t out of you? You definitely deserve some recognition. To thank you for all those little things that pile up, we've put together this gallery of memes. Keep fighting the good fight. We see you.
