I was more asking about the Bernie's Mittens thing in particular, but I should think you're right anyway .....

There's some good Bernie mitten memes on the last few pages of the bandwidth thread.

Yeah that puzzled me too but I think he was wearing mittens at the inauguration and someone did a meme about it and it took off.

Something that happens fairly regularly in my experience of the internet is that I see people making references to an argument happening somewhere, and I have no idea what they're talking about, and also breathe a deep sigh of relief that I have no idea what's going on. Someone once memorably compared it to being on a boat and seeing the fin of a shark and knowing there's this terrifying creature that you've just narrowly avoided. Anyway, the most recent example of that for me was seeing people discussing the controversy over 'whether it was misogynist for Bernie to wear mittens at the inauguration'.

Why Do Some Feminists Think the Bernie Sanders Inauguration Meme Is Sexist?
An "ice cold feminist take" about a beloved photo of Bernie Sanders at the inauguration has sparked criticism — and a meme of its own.

One of the most ridiculous things I've read in a while, and I've read transcripts of trumps speeches .

"I love Bernie, really I do, but sir: beauty work is not beneath you. Not feeling it? Fucking show a little more leg for one minute, like many women do."

This is such a weird thing. I'm not on Twitter, is this a Trump/alt right thing or a centrist thing? Weird machismo that mocks a man for wearing mittens.

It's not mocking at all, and most of the appreciation I've seen has been from the left or apolitical.

Is it mocking him? Not sure it is. Seems pretty affectionate to me, from people who like him politically.
Don't ask me!
Cold and so tired of making love.

Isn't it also a bit of a reaction to the way a lot of the coverage of the thing seemed to treat it vapidly as if it were a fashion show?
There you go again, asking me questions about things on Twitter!

Ok. I'm not sure, but I think it may also be a bit of a reaction to the way a lot of the coverage of the thing seemed to treat it vapidly as if it were a fashion show.

I saw him interviewed about the memes, he's greatly amused, and is actually selling sweatshirts on his campaign site, with profits going to charity.

If anything, it's good to have something that keeps him in the spotlight, imo. Anything that helps to get his message across about what Biden needs to do over the next two years (can't guarantee anything past the mid-term elections). He's still potentially an important player.

It was a fashion show. Take this for instance.
The bag she's carrying is a $75,000 crocodile skin Birkin bag. Her entire ensemble is worth more than my house. And, the democrats were only slightly better. People are jobless, homeless, and hungry, and they think this display of excess is really appropriate? I don't think they need to show up in sackcloth, but this level of conspicuous consumption is silly.

I'm not sure if the bernies mittens thing taking off is a comment on much - it's just the simple and universal joy of the eccentric uncle turning up to a formal event - possibly the most formal event - in a defiantly non-formal outfit. It blew up because we all have that uncle, and we all love and are a bit jealous of his lack of interest in what the done thing is.

Great description - I'd been a bit puzzled by the huge reaction but I think that encapsulates it
