    Kinda wish you'd resisted. Politics, even in jest, not a good idea here. Maybe if there were some MC ...

    Is this "politics"? Whether you love or hate Bernie and his politics, I don't see any political statement or even commentary in this picture. I'm not American though.
    Moderators, if you feel that this post is political, please remove it.

    Well ... he's a politician, so ... It's just commonly understood it's best to steer clear of veering near. Erring on the side of caution, so to speak.

    See, maybe if Bernie had been playing a mandolin instead ...

    Although Sanders is a political figure I wouldn't think of this fad as political humor. It's just silliness.

    Funny picture, thanks for sharing!
