Bernie does Boston

Why, yes, you can now buy a life-sized cardboard cutout of Bernie Sanders in his mittens and folding chair. Adam Balsam got his today, just in time to let Bernie enjoy his Vermont-made jacket while touring a snowy North End.

Can’t decide what I’m sicker of
Bernie or this stupid meme.
I'll have your Bernie memes
I love them.
Ok I’ll say it...
Enough with the Bernie memes. They aren’t funny anymore. 99/100 Bernie memes weren’t funny last week, and 100/100 aren’t funny now.
But there are three real funny ones imo (Jason Momoa folding chair meme, WWF Undertaker pile driving/suplex meme, and Connor McGreggor Knocked out meme) too difficult to put here on my phone now but I will try to get them on here tomorrow.
Carry on.
I won't yell at this particular cloud anymore,
but it does ironically amuse me to think of how nonplussed Bernie himself must be by the absurd ubiquity, the sheer staggering volume of iterations of this meme. Grandmas that call me for help with their email are posting their own sweetly lame versions of it on The Facebook, FFS.
"I've spent my whole life in cantankerous, deadly-serious pursuit of public service, tilting desperately at obdurate late-stage capital windmills to try to help our callously-trampled poor and working-class folk. Please don't tell me that this is what I'm going to be remembered for."
Bernie being Bernie
Bernie's organization had the meme printed up on union printed, US made sweatshirts at $45 a piece and they sold out in less than a day.
Procedes went to Vermont food bank/meals on wheels.
Even if he is tired of it, he's not above turning it into an extremely successful fundraiser.
No joke
so far they’ve raised $1.8 million for Meals on Wheels. And Bernie thought it was funny so everyone can get off their high horse for a moment and relax
@adamg Are you sure this
@adamg Are you sure this should be tagged North End? This picture looks like the park in the Financial District to me. This meme has legs at least until Spring time.
Yep
That's the trellis way in Christopher Columbus Park, not Post Office Square Park (plus, if you click on the link in the post look at the other pics he snapped with Bernie, four are in the North End, and two are outside the Union Oyster House).
Beware of Snow Spiders
The trellis at Leventhal Park has a dome feature.

Just in time for the snow,
we have a real Bernie space saver.
Small clarification
You can now buy a life-sized cardboard cutout of Bernie Sanders is true the same way that you can buy a life-sized cardboard cutout of Adam Gaffin. By obtaining an image, cropping it, and sending it off to the first search result for "life-size cutouts".
Which is exactly what I did last Wednesday night. As far as I know,
no one is bulk producing these.OK. It seems they are now :)I hope Adam is getting a cut
from those bulk-produced Adam Gaffins.
