BernieSingles.com: the social network helping democratic socialists find love (yahoo.com).
“Enter BernieSingles.com, a website aimed at connecting the Vermont senator’s single supporters who may be looking for that special fellow democratic socialist. The site’s administrators, who are not affiliated with the Sanders campaign, may have underestimated how many of his supporters were feeling the proverbial yearn.”
Or “Bern.” A “Social network?” Lets call a spade a spade, it’s on the internet and it’s a dating site—which is pretty much what the whole opportunistic Web 2.0 is (Latest Picks 7th Feb. 2016)—“for people of all walks of life, and specifically for those who share the philosophy championed by U.S. Senator and Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders” started as a spinoff to the wildly popular Facebook group Bernie Sanders’ dark, sticky, gooey, and potent Dank (urbandictionary.com) Meme Stash, as… Bernie Sanders’ Dank Meme (BSDM) Singles. So, with mainly youth—many young men (galoremag.com)—feeling the Bern presumably it’s not the Fifty Shades of Cardigan most of those groups on chatsites tend to be but I’d perhaps not be surprised if the site’s administrator is perhaps more advanced in years and hopeful in opportunity.
