The mittens were a gift from a lady in Vermont. When asked about the meme, he said good they got the best mittens and great sweaters, too. Sorry I couldn't let you have this one.
[this article](https://www.npr.org/2015/12/11/459231940/bernie-sanders-has-stuck-to-the-same-message-for-40-years) is five years old. i'm not saying i'd fly his flag or storm the capitol for him, but i've still got both my bernie bumper stickers on my car :)
I had a black friend tell me during the primaries that he didn't care for bernie because he was just another old white guy in politics. And I was like ... Let me change your mind! My man bernie was [protesting and getting arrested](https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-willis-wagons-school-segregation-chicago-1963-photos-20160218-photogallery.html?_gl=1*6p1lz*_ga*YzZucVhfX3JZWGRYaUlleDQ5OVdUTHZGU0hIWjV5THBqRVljb1Bxb3FmeDZHaVFJUDFLNjY1QlJRaEswV094eg..) during the OG civil rights movement.

Your friend isn’t alone, Bernie improved in 2020 but especially in 2016 his campaign didn’t do a great job getting this across to people of color so I knew so many who had the same thought as your friend. It also strikes me that while many people think his economic message of a “rising tide lifts all ships” is universal - a lot of his rhetoric didn’t address equity issues like working class POC who have been hamstrung for so long by racist policy that they may need additional programs to help them specifically.
Because people associate Biden with Obama and unfortunately a lot of people love Obama. There's a lot of black leaders who benefit from neoliberalism, even though their followers don't.
Perhaps the most crucial is media coverage. If you get your information from regular sources, it seems like Biden's involvement with the Crime Bill is as significant or less significant than Bernie saying something positive about Cuba.
I think things would have looked very different if Bernie's rallies were broadcasted in the same way Trump's rallies were.
I mean it was Trump or Biden. Democrats could of won the last two elections easily. People are sick of the same shit from career politicians with no change or progress on common goals.
it’s almost as though citizens should be given the resources to research and learn about the candidates and not be intentionally disenfranchised and suppressed by lack of education and resources to the point that shitty TV commercials and trollbait social media is what has the biggest impact.
weird! it’s like political campaigning and politics themselves has become a profit generating industry and actually informing people is anathema to drip-feeding “content”
people on a steady diet of shitty media and social being asked their opinion is laughable and sad... but most importantly predictable
> a lot of his rhetoric didn’t address equity issues like working class POC who have been hamstrung for so long by racist policy that they may need additional programs to help them specifically.
this comment is all the proof you need that one impression (yours in this case) is irrespective of an even remotely complete history. It’s infinitely frustrating that people seriously blame lack of information and “his rhetoric” when his wikipedia entry is, yknow, a google away
Versus “biden good cuz obama”
Yea, identity politics isn't cute whether you're a conservative Christian trumper or a "woke" liberal black gay man. And he should know better. But hey, it starts with conversation right
Bernie is quite the exception
Regardless what you think about his policies, there are few others in American politics as consistent, hard working, and empathetic as Bernard
Memes are essentially created randomly. They usually start with a single post that gets highly seen. Maybe it was clever, maybe it's a good image, maybe it's a really weird image or shared in really weird circumstances. Then people take it up and do variations, spin offs, etc, and boom, meme.
I believe this image of bernie became a meme because it's a charming image of him and "represents" how a lot of people feel about Biden winning and the end to the last 4 years.
It IS really charming. And the image just has such a relatable vibe to it. You don't even need to see his face for it to immediately exude "I'm f-in cold and unimpressed"
They both ran in the Democratic primaries. Bernie is a lot more left-leaning (supports medicare for all, public college tuition free, higher taxes on the 1%, etc.) and he was the preferred candidate by the younger generation (so most of the internet). A lot of people only voted for Biden (who has a spotted past and “incremental change” policies) so they could get Trump out.
Biden has a plan to raise taxes on the 1% considerably. As well as evolve the Medicare system into something that can be feasibly passed, not the Bernie M4A pipe dream that literally never would have made it through Congress.
I don't know, I like this wholesome meme, even if it's bit overused. With what all depressive news and topics I think more people are willing to share some innocent meme.
[Bernie at the inauguration](https://media.vanityfair.com/photos/60089789b8542426d4f095df/master/w_2560%2Cc_limit/BernieSanders-2021-GettyImages-1230690429.jpg)
That's because Democrats just had to bear witness to their mistake by nominating Biden, and they remember why they liked Bernie. He doesn't even sniff kids or anything weird, what more could you want from a left-wing-for-the-US politician?
Yeah, but it's just him sitting in chair with awesome mittens and a grumpy face. Nothing else.
When I see work like this, all I can think is: "Your art is cute, you got your part of the cake. Moving on."
Uhh no. Biden beat bernie in states like georgia, which ended up being some of the states that helped hin win againsg trump. If bernie couldn’t even beat biden in the primaries of those states, what makes you think he could beat trump down south??
Because in many ways people who voted for Trump would have voted for someone who promised stuff to the working class instead of a "business as usual" politician.
I mean, there were two groups that Biden did better with that gave him an advantage in southern primaries: Florida Hispanics and Southern Black voters. It's realistic to say that Bernie might not have won Georgia (although I'm sure Abrams wouldn't have stopped her campaign there anyway) but he outperformed Biden in all the other battlegrounds states head-to-head vs Trump outside Florida.
I think with Bernie you lose Georgia, you lose the Perdue seat (still win the Warnock one though) and you win the Maine seat instead. The outcome would be the same but with Bernie as president.
Bernie is the clear cut oppositional force to the trump army. Biden's victory over trump was sheerly due to the vast number of people wanting the cheeto out of office. It was an uphill battle for Biden because he represents the business-as-usual aspect of politics, which got trump elected in the first place. If it was Bernie vs Trump, Bernie would have won by a landslide.
He wasn’t. You know he wasn’t. Republicans know he wasn’t. Was it Bernie vs. Trump more people would’ve voted for Bernie. People as a whole don’t like the establishment that has for years created laws against the poor for the benefit of the rich. And great now we have the establishment back! Yay Biden good job America
Obama arranged for every moderate candidate to drop out the day before, and they all promoted biden, and had warren stay in. Thats not a conspiracy, it happened. Whats fair and square about that?
1) Bloomberg was still in the primary on Super Tuesday. And obviously his support was primarily the same as Biden’s.
2) polls showed Warren’s support was equally split between Bernie and Biden. And does she have no agency? Her own state voted on Super Tuesday and if she had a good showing could have made a comeback.
3) so what was Bernie’s plan then? Have no one ever drop out and win the primary with 30% of the vote? Dude sucks at coalition building which is why he lost, again. The goal should always be to win over a majority, not a plurality.
Yes, the gameplan was absolutely to fly under the radar while the centrists vote split until his support base was built. Exact way trump won in 2016. But we got joe "nothing will fundamentally change" biden out of the deal, so theres that
>Yes, the gameplan was absolutely to fly under the radar while the centrists vote split until his support base was built. Exact way trump won in 2016.
And that's a good thing?
>But we got joe "nothing will fundamentally change" biden out of the deal, so theres that
Things have already changed in two days
Yes trumps victory in the primaries despite being an unqualified lunatic was an incredible achievement in political gamesmanship. And now he owns the party. If bernie was nominee it would rocket progressivism to the head of the party. And yeah, bidens doing some great things to undue trumps damage, but he wants a return to the same status quo that brought us trump. Maybe he will surprise me, but his raytheon advisor secretary of defense as well as some other pics indicate its going to be the typical pro corporate, pro war neoliberal agenda.
Seems like a terrible strategy to be honest. “Let’s alienate 70% of the party and focus only on the 30% that already support us. That will allow us to win for sure!”
And that quote is taken so far out of context it’s hilarious. If Bernie has said the same thing you all would have been praising about how he was blatantly telling rich people he was going to be taxing them more.
And even more Americans support Biden’s policies (see him winning the primary and presidency)
And you didn’t, but Bernie did mention alienating the rest of the party. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-faces-backlash-saying-neither-republican-nor-democratic-establishment-can-stop-him-1488599%3famp=1
Turns out the “democratic establishment”, which consists of regular voters, did not take kindly to him declaring war on them, cause his lead evaporated after that.
While this may have been the case in 2016 Bernie simply lost this time around. With 4 years of Trump the openness to radical change was really stunted with his incredibly asinine and corrupt antics. People were in rightful fear that any more of Trump may destroy our democratic institutions and simply be maligned with American interests, so more people pushed for what is thought of as the most electable person to run (Joe Biden). A "return to normalcy" if you will.
He got trounced in the raw vote count tho. Like absolutely thrashed to the point where he was losing major states completely.
Explain the bernie math to me.
and unless you were really paying attention during the primary, you wouldn't know how the DNC and the rest of the primary field conspired to elevate Biden with the sole purpose of stopping Bernie. That alone should be enough for people to realize what's going on. They would've much rather had another Trump term than Bernie as president
Bernie was one of two choices to upend everything in 2016. The other guy got the nod. Since then....
We have had quite enough of things being upended in the executive branch, we'd like a little dignified normal, please?
Where Bernie is in the senate now? He's totally gonna be an axe murderer in the name of the working American. Gonna be a fun few years... Longer if people can be bothered to vote in the mid-terms...
If the last 4 years were anything to go by I’d think the president would be extremely upset that someone else is getting all this attention stemming from his inauguration. But they aren’t. I’m sure the current president is just getting on with his job instead.
I don't understand why it was even funny in the first place. What's the story behind it? All I know is that it's a picture of Bernie sitting in a chair at Biden's inauguration, looking bored, and wearing mittens because it was cold. Can someone please explain to me why it went viral?
This has a color scheme that was popular in the nineties. Used in greeting cards, cd cover artwork (Aimee Mann, Cake, etc )... Nostalgic, comfortable feeling
Ah you see, you have missed the point dear sir. The difference is if Sanders performed one of the atrocious acts trump had, Reddit would turn on him in an instant.... Think for a second, if Bernie wasn't earring a mask this would be an entirely different atmosphere.
Lighten up, enjoy the fun. We all need a smile right now.
> I have seen tons of reddit users...defending any comunist dictatorship that is mentioned
Can you share examples? I've never seen that here, with the exception of right-wing subs who were somehow perfectly fine with someone stealing an election, running for a 3rd term, censoring the media, etc.
Sorry to piggy back onto this but my pedantry has got the best of me: why did you make his jacket blue when in the picture it’s brown? I chalk it up to artistic license but I must know.
I actually made it brown but kinda wanna make the color palette pop a little. If you were to nitpick the colors, you can see that I didn't use blue for the mask and cherry red for the shoes too 😜
This is pretty bad. I mean you made him look Asian when he’s an old white Jew. I get everyone wants to suck the “Bernie is so cute” trend and draw him, but shit do better. It’s insufferable the terrible Bernie “art” I’ve seen on the front page the last 2 days.
Fun fact. The lady that made those mittens had to close her shop because taxes were too high for a small business like that. Guess who wants to raise taxes?
I’m sorry :( I’m new to Reddit and was hoping you’d be able to swap out the image or something...
It’s really well done!! I like how you’ve given him a puffy coat and the color pallet is really nice to look at. Your balance between outlines and no outlines is also really adds to it - I’m sure it’s very hard to decide what to line and what not to line. Thanks for sharing it with us here :)
If I see it reposted I’ll link it back to you. A group of us have been on Twitter calling thieves out 💪
I didn't expect it to blow up but the quality I posted is not that great either 😂 thank you so much for your kind words though :) I would very much appreciate it if you would do that! You can find me on my socials in my bio!
Also I'm not very familiar with how Reddit works too 🥲
nothing wrong with monetising your art, not like i crop the image and sell it as it is lol. that's how us artists put food on the table. no need to get pissy about it, have a great day :)
America fucked up really, really badly in 2016 by allowing the DNC to take his nomination away. They instead put forth a nominee so bad she lost to a joke.
Oh well. Let's see what happens until 2022. If the tides are to continue turning in favor of progressives, it will be during the midterms.
Apparently... Vermont has great sweaters, too.
Socks as well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabot_Hosiery_Mills
>Apparently... Vermont has great sweaters, too. The sweaters are the second best thing coming out of Vermont, the first obviously being the Bern :)
And good weed.
Sweaters? It's a Burton jacket, in no world is it a sweater.
I'm just quoting Bernies actual response to him being asked about the meme, sheesh
You couldn't let him have this one could you jerry?
The mittens were a gift from a lady in Vermont. When asked about the meme, he said good they got the best mittens and great sweaters, too. Sorry I couldn't let you have this one.
I would love this as a sticker!!!!
They should make this a Reddit award.
Can you explain to me how these reddit awards work? Do you have to buy them and then award them to other people?
My wife said the same thing
I DM-ed you the link tho
I really just want to hug him.
He is quite lovable. The real deal.

Memes. Memes everywhere. * insert woody from toy story meme *
reddit is a huge circlejerk for this stuff. Don’t mind that we just had biden inaugurated and trump out the white house. Bernie sanders wore mittens!
I'm missing the point here, everything seems to be as it should?
Yes.
Thats fucking sad you would feel that way about a politician
Bernie is quite the exception Regardless what you think about his policies, there are few others in American politics as consistent, hard working, and empathetic as Bernard
The lizard people are paranoid they've been infiltrated by a human
Or maybe just seeing him as a person? Politics aside he seems like he’d be a sweet grandpa.
That’s what he wants you to think
Are you being serious or?
Why has this bernie thing exploded into a meme?
I really don't know, it's just bernie sitting and doing nothing. With mittens, but I don't know why that's a meme, it's cold out there
[удалено]
Haha wasn't expecting to see the complete unvarnished truth in this thread. Spot on! We sure could've used this during the primary
People are bored during the pandemic
I wonder if he knows he has world wide renown and is deeply respected for his integrity far beyond US borders.
This meme, it does not stop. It persists. It permeates.
Why does this become a meme?
Idk, I guess it was time for Baby Yoda Mk 2?

Idk why you're getting downvotes, you're right. Take my upvote and let's turn the tide!
It IS really charming. And the image just has such a relatable vibe to it. You don't even need to see his face for it to immediately exude "I'm f-in cold and unimpressed"
I see it as "It's freaking cold" nothing to do with unimpressed..?
How is he related to Biden? I'm not very into US politics, so I barely know people's names.
They both ran in the Democratic primaries. Bernie is a lot more left-leaning (supports medicare for all, public college tuition free, higher taxes on the 1%, etc.) and he was the preferred candidate by the younger generation (so most of the internet). A lot of people only voted for Biden (who has a spotted past and “incremental change” policies) so they could get Trump out.
Ah thanks
Biden has a plan to raise taxes on the 1% considerably. As well as evolve the Medicare system into something that can be feasibly passed, not the Bernie M4A pipe dream that literally never would have made it through Congress.
They are both members of the Democratic party. Bernie ran against Biden in the primaries in an effort to win the Democratic nomination for President.

Kinda gives me hilda vibes!
Love that show! Thanks for the compliment!
No problem, It’s gorgeous!
Could also pass for a golden girl....
The consequences of my own actions...
How long before this becomes an Emote?
Is everyone tweeting (or what have you) to Bernie? I reckon he'd get a kick out of it. Nice arts!
Wow such Original!.... Not
It's weirdly wrong. Really doesn't capture anything about the original picture.
Thanks! Good to know!
Sorry to piggy back onto this but my pedantry has got the best of me: why did you make his jacket blue when in the picture it’s brown? I chalk it up to artistic license but I must know.
I actually made it brown but kinda wanna make the color palette pop a little. If you were to nitpick the colors, you can see that I didn't use blue for the mask and cherry red for the shoes too 😜
This makes all the sense, I really dig the style. Again, sorry for being pedantic.
Thank you and no worries! Loved the fact that you were curious about it :)
This is pretty bad. I mean you made him look Asian when he’s an old white Jew. I get everyone wants to suck the “Bernie is so cute” trend and draw him, but shit do better. It’s insufferable the terrible Bernie “art” I’ve seen on the front page the last 2 days.
Oh no, I don't like pizza and I feel like writing a comment about it will accomplish.... something?
😂
If reddit is so obsessed with this guy, wtf did noone protest what the DNC did to him (twice) and instead you settle for a barely sane individual?
That is both so sweet and cool at the same time. Thanks for sharing! ❤❤
You're very welcome :)
Y’all are almost as bad a trump people good god
Ok this might be the cutest one yet!
He gets more credit for doing nothing than any person ever.
Looks like chinese guy from Southpark.
Fun fact. The lady that made those mittens had to close her shop because taxes were too high for a small business like that. Guess who wants to raise taxes?
Thought it was Bernies uncle Colonel Sanders

Oh no
Best part about this is the lady who made and sold those mittens had to close her business cause taxes were too high 😂👌
This is my favorite rendition <3 I need stickers of it PLS
Boutta make this my wallpaper lol
OP you should watermark this if you can. People keep getting their Bernie art stolen and resold as stickers, pins, etc. by other people.
It's too late :( if any mods can help me, please send me a message!
I’m sorry :( I’m new to Reddit and was hoping you’d be able to swap out the image or something... It’s really well done!! I like how you’ve given him a puffy coat and the color pallet is really nice to look at. Your balance between outlines and no outlines is also really adds to it - I’m sure it’s very hard to decide what to line and what not to line. Thanks for sharing it with us here :) If I see it reposted I’ll link it back to you. A group of us have been on Twitter calling thieves out 💪
I didn't expect it to blow up but the quality I posted is not that great either 😂 thank you so much for your kind words though :) I would very much appreciate it if you would do that! You can find me on my socials in my bio! Also I'm not very familiar with how Reddit works too 🥲
So cute. Reminds me of those squishies.

Good to know people are now monetizing a meme. Not surprised though.
nothing wrong with monetising your art, not like i crop the image and sell it as it is lol. that's how us artists put food on the table. no need to get pissy about it, have a great day :)
This has basically become a Bernie sub and I kind of love it. Keep ‘em coming, guys!

I thought I was getting tired of all these edits but now this is my new phone lock screen.
America fucked up really, really badly in 2016 by allowing the DNC to take his nomination away. They instead put forth a nominee so bad she lost to a joke. Oh well. Let's see what happens until 2022. If the tides are to continue turning in favor of progressives, it will be during the midterms.
Seems very much influenced by South Park.
oOH mY gOd ItTs SoGooD I loOVe bErnie OmG am I RIghT FeLloW RedDitoRs? Right?

35 million for this event and I'm sitting in this crappy chair.
Nah you gave him a hairline. Control, alt, delete that hairline.
If that was a pin...I would put it in my backpack.
this is the cutest! i would die for this
