democratic candidates

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. 

If you've seen some anecdotes on Twitter regarding wild exchanges with Bernie Sanders' volunteers, rest assured they're probably not real. The bizarre minds of "Weird Twitter" have been hard at work penning some hilarious and slightly offensive tales about hardworking phone bankers. 

It's easy to imagine the tweets as parodies of the general political outrage that is so popular on Twitter, but they actually stem from a Politico story about Bernie callers allegedly being instructed to slam fellow 2020 candidate Elizabeth Warren over the phone. Most people see the Politico piece as a crock of sh*t, but anything remotely outrageous is bound to get meme'd - and this round of tweets is pretty damn good.
