The Berniebro voted for Barack Obama in 2012. And 2008, if the Berniebro was old enough to vote.

The Berniebro has spent most days since March 2008 in an environment where bland support for Barack Obama was so presumed as to be unspoken (“except for drone strikes,” the Berniebro adds).

The Berniebro had an equal chance, four years ago, of being (a) an Occupybro or (b) the kind of bro who asked, repeatedly and insistently, what Occupy’s concrete policy proposals were.

The Berniebro seems to have taken Sanders’s rhetoric that America is trapped in a number of deep, unprecedented crises to heart. The Berniebro always writes with an urgent, anxious seriousness when discussing national politics.
