Memes of Bernie Sanders as 'Long-suffering guy at the rock club' are the happiest Bernie memes of all

LOS ANGELES: The photograph of Senator Bernie Sanders sitting in isolation, waiting for the Biden-Harris swearing-in Wednesday morning, had turned into a cottage industry for memes before the ceremony was even over. And for some reason, it particularly appealed to members of the music community, who could relate to the insufferability of perennially waiting around for something to happen – even if mittens usually aren't part of the picture.

Perhaps the most popular of the Bernie/music memes is one put up by the band Pup, created by the group's tour manager, Dan Case. It recasts Impatient Inaugural Bernie as Had-Enough Merch-Table Bernie, ready to sell some T-shirts, with folded arms that make it clear he'd rather be taking on big business or the health care system than having to carry unopened packages of CDs back to the van.
