An OPEN LETTER to … U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders

Sen. Sanders:

We are willing to bet that you tired Friday of seeing all of the memes of you on social media, but not because you sort of look asleep in the photo or because you didn’t love the attention (because we know you love attention). Instead, we suspect you disliked it based on the fact you didn’t think of it first during one of your failed campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Let’s be honest. You’ve never received so much attention in a single day from members of all political parties, and many of the memes had you with swimsuit models and people’s puppies, in big-league dugouts, on the Moon, in weed fields, on mountain trails, and slouched on a couch with the Golden Girls.

Living large.

If your campaign would have launched something similar the day before one of the primaries you lost, the results just might have been different. Who knows? You could be the new president right this very moment!

But hey, we may have loved our Bernie meme; straight-out socialism, though? Not so much.

Sincerely,

#DistractedButNotDeranged
