Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders✡ (or B.S.) is a batshit insane American politician who represents the 9,615-square mile patch of progressive inanity that is Vermont. After having served nearly a quarter of a century in federal office, a demented Sanders developed delusions of grandeur, and announced a 2016 presidential candidacy, apparently believing America is ready to elect a senile socialist to the White House.
Aided by an army of well-off young white people on the Internet, he has become a meme candidate, along with Donald Trump and, previously, Ron Paul. Sanders is expected to do about as well in his quixotic quest for the presidency as the last Vermont politician that was popular on the Internet.
Political career
Bernie Sanders was inspired to get into politics as a young person by Adolf Hitler. Liking Hitler's unique brand of national socalism, Sanders decided to become America's first self-described democratic socialist to serve in the U.S. Senate. After biding his time for over fifteen years in the less-glamorous United States House of Representatives, Sanders finally got his chance upon the retirement of Jumpin' Jim Jeffords, and was elected amidst a wave of anti-Bush sentiment in 2006, but mostly lucked-out by nature of running in the shithole that is Vermont.
Soon however, Sanders became painfully aware that his idol never settled for a lowly Parliament position, and decided it was time to try for something bigger.
2016 presidential campaign
Bernie Sanders announced his bid in April of 2015. Sanders has raised a decent amount of online loot from deluded college hipsters on the coasts, but still trails a scandal-plagued Hillary Clinton by double-digits nationally. It has been noted that Sanders has a problem winning the support of minorities, women, older voters, more religious people, Southerners and poorer Democrats. In short, he's not going to win the Democratic nomination.
Supporters
Mostly consists of white college students who've never worked a day in their lives. Why these middle-class suburban Millennials think socialism is an appealing ideology is a mystery. Sanders has drawn big crowds in liberal havens such as Portland, Oregon, though Donald Trump drew a larger crowd in the much smaller town of Mobile, Alabama.
His support base is on Reddit and they mindlessly worship him, despite the fact that he is supposedly an everyday egalitarian. Heil Bernie! (http://i.imgur.com/Y1ZbCIL.png insert as image please)

It can be surmised that Sanders' promise of free stuff is his main attraction. Millennials that are on the cusp of having to actually work for a living see the government and Sanders as their new providers, replacing mommy and daddy. Also they really don't want to pay back their student loans.
Black Lives Matter
To further prove the point of how Bernie Sanders stands zero chance of winning anything but safe races in Vermont, he has recently become a favorite target of Black Lives Matter, because he's an old white guy from Vermont, a state that is 95% white.
A shameful display took place in August 2015, when two Black Lives Matter agitators took the microphone from Sanders and hijacked his own campaign event, with the cucked Sanders just meekly taking it. Even more pathetic, Sanders subsequently apologized for not reaching out to black voters sooner.
More humiliation came when black Republican Ben Carson blasted Black Lives Matter in a way that the Sanders campaign should have, but are too afraid to do so.
Polls have shown Sanders in the single digits with blacks, the very voters that propelled Obama over Clinton in South Carolina in 2008.

Bernie Sanders thinks Americans are too stupid to own certain types of guns. Ironically, Vermont has some of the most lax gun laws in the nation.
Marijuana
