These are just a few examples, but I'm sure there are many more sweet moments in US politics!

I just remembered that my dad thought sleepy Joe was named that because he was confused by that Bernie Sanders meme of sitting in the lawn chair with mittens on and thought that was why.

How Viral Memes are Shaping U.S Elections and Public Opinion

Back in the early ages of the internet, memes were just supposed to be fun, mischievous and shareable jokes that many young users used to express themselves. But in recent years, memes have become such a powerful tool to use even for business or politics. The most notable example of this is how in recent U.S. elections, politicians use memes in their promotional campaigns to raise polls, especially among younger voters. In this blog, we are going to look at how meme culture is growing to be a powerful weapon to harness if you want to attract more attention online.

How the Internet Changed Political Communication

Because of the internet, we have shifted the way we engage in politics. While traditional media is still alive and around, younger generations, especially people younger than 35, Millennials and Gen Z, are getting more political news from social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Reddit and even YouTube. Memes are a huge part of today's online world, offering either long, detailed video essays on platforms like YouTube or quick attention-grabbing content such as memes.

Why Memes Click with Young Voters

First of all they are short. With so much information and posts out there, memes offer a fast and often fun way to break down complex political topics. Second of all relatable. Political memes tap into everyday frustrations or experiences, making politics feel more connected to real life. And finally they are easily shareable. Memes spread quickly, making it easy for political ideas to go viral on different social platforms.

Politicians Are Jumping on the Meme Bandwagon

Seeing how effective memes are, politicians have started using them in their communication strategies. This marks a huge shift in how they connect with younger voters.

Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was one of the first to really use social media well. This has made other politicians hop in the meme whip to use on digital political campaigns. Now, we see politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (famous on the internet as AOC) taking it further, using platforms like Instagram and Twitch to engage with voters. AOC mixes internet humor with serious politics, making her relatable to Millennials and Gen Z.

The Two Sides of Political Memes

Memes can shape a politician’s public image, but this can go both ways. They can make politicians seem more down-to-earth and relatable, or they can dig their own grave by accidentally making their past mistakes come out and harm their reputation.

Making Politicians Relatable

Bernie Sanders has become a stable in the political meme world, with images and videos like “I am once again asking for your financial support” and his viral mittens moment at Biden’s inauguration. These memes showed Sanders as authentic and down-to-earth, even appealing to people who might not agree with his politics.

Another great example of a politician connecting with voters through memes and social media is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). She frequently hops on Instagram Live to talk directly to her followers while doing everyday things like cooking dinner or getting ready for bed. These casual, relatable moments have been meme’d endlessly, with screenshots and clips from her live streams spreading across platforms. The combination of her authenticity, humor, and openness has made AOC a favorite among younger voters. Memes from these streams reinforce the idea that she's not just a politician but someone you could hang out with, and that helped her build a strong connection with her fun base.

Another example is Hillary Clinton's attempt to reach younger voters with her infamous "Pokémon Go to the polls" line. While the intention was there, it instantly became a meme because of how forced and out of touch it sounded . The internet took it and memed the living world out of it, highlighting her struggle to connect with Gen Z and Millennials.

When Memes Backfire

On the other side, memes can also be used to mock politicians. Donald Trump’s interview with Jonathan Swan on Axios became a meme when people focused on what they saw as his poor response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These memes made the interview go viral and the video made its impact way beyond its initial broadcast.

And then there’s Joe Biden, who has had plenty of meme-able moments. One of his infamous blunders was when he said he could sum up China in "one word," and then proceeded to say something totally incomprehensible and totally not "one word". That moment, along with other slip-ups, fed into memes questioning his ability to lead and questioning his health especially related to dementia. In fact, Biden recently dropped out of the 2024 election, and many believe it’s partly due to the accumulation of these viral stumbles. The memes, like ones showing him mixing up numbers or fumbling sentences, stuck with people and shaped how they saw him as a candidate.

Memes as Political Game Changers

Memes aren’t just for laughs—they can actually influence political outcomes. They spark conversations, spread messages, and get voters, especially younger ones, involved.

During the 2016 election, Trump’s campaign got a boost from meme makers who helped make his anti-establishment image. Memes like “Covfefe” and “God Emperor Trump” spread his message on platforms like 4chan, Reddit, and Twitter .

In the 2020 election, both Trump and Biden’s campaigns used memes to rally their supporters. Memes about Biden’s speaking style or Trump’s tweets helped shape how the public viewed their leadership.

The Future of Political Conversations

Looking ahead, it’s clear that memes are more than just online jokes. They’re becoming important tools in politics, influencing how people vote, shaping public opinion, and giving politicians new ways to connect with younger audiences.

For Millennials and Gen Z, memes offer an easy entry point into politics, making complex issues more relatable. As meme culture keeps evolving, its influence on U.S. elections is likely to grow, becoming a part of digital politics.

While we still are not sure about the true impact of memes on political conversations, one thing for sure is a meme can be more powerful than we think.

DIGITAL MARKETING ARTICLE

Digital Marketing Overview: Digital marketing is the latest approach to product promotion and sales in today's digitally evolved society. It is less expensive, simpler to administer, easier to evaluate, and easier to understand than traditional marketing. Almost instantly, campaigns may be adjusted to perform better and generate more sales. However, data mining has made it much more than a tool and is make it harmful as well. Because of the knowledge offered, it may appear as though customers can become the product. Let's examine both perspectives in the following article

The Value of Online Advertising : As previously stated, we live in a highly advanced technological society where anything is possible with the help of the internet. A website is all that's needed that allows internet advertising practical and how it operates. It is the central idea behind digital marketing. Digital marketing is the answer to changing the costs and availability issues that plague our society. Anyone, wherever in the world they may be, can readily access the internet. It is no longer reserved for a certain social class. Connecting with people is simpler and doesn't even require physical interaction. During modern times, digital advertising is excellent for organizations.

People may purchase anything they need online with extreme convenience and never have to leave their houses. It saves time and displays the different reviews that individuals have given. It's simple to assess charges throughout different websites then selecting the ones that best fulfills your needs. It is advantageous to people with disabilities since it can enable them to complete their tasks and lead independent lives.

Small and large enterprises alike benefit from it as well. If one learns how to go about it properly. entrepreneurs can advertise with less or pay a great deal less. Products frequently get viral without any marketing expenditures. It really aids small enterprises and gives them traction.

There are many types of digital marketing. One of them involves search engine optimization (SEO). It may help rank your website highly in search engine results. By increasing the amount of visits, this aids in marketing. This functions best when specific SEO terms are included in the website's content. One of the best ways to market is through social media, which also fosters relationships of trust by allowing you to interact with others. Both the effectiveness and the expense of it are excellent. Compared to conventional techniques of advertising, it aids a company in reading a more diverse yet focused audience. Any business may grow recognized for goods with the help of one famous video and internet. Bernie Sanders's chair-sitting, mitten-wearing meme serves as a single example. The individual who crafted those mitts received thousands of orders, and her enterprise flourished.

• Email advertising: Email marketing is email-based advertising. It discreetly delivers adverts directly to the recipient's email. This mostly occurs when users use their emails to gain access into retailers and other similar platforms.

• YouTube Channel: This type of marketing falls under social media as well, but it includes a different aspect. Many people create films for their enormous fan base, reviewing various items and services. When there are positive evaluations, a lot of people rush to buy a product or service.

The Issue with Online Advertising The analysis of data represents some one of the primary issues regarding digital marketing. The purchasing of user data is not prohibited by any laws or regulations. The user can be described as having become a product due to the depth of its use.

There is a conspiracy theory that suggests we are being watched. That isn't far from the reality, though. Ex-staff members of Google, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and other companies have discussed the amount of data being remaining on visitors' websites when they use social media platforms. Marketers purchase this data in order to use it to target particular demographics with their offerings. These websites are made to entice users to return and interact with them. Similar to an addiction. The extent to which purchase rates rose during the shutdown serves as evidence of this. This indicates that social media is no longer just a tool and is becoming dangerous.

Cell Phone Photography #15

The Bernie Sanders mittens meme captures U.S. senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont and former 2020 presidential candidate who was photographed seated during the 2020 inauguration of Joe Biden wearing a face mask and distinct mittens hand knitted by one of his supporters and constituents which went viral. This particular meme stood out to me in relation to one of the quotes from the readings:

“You as the person who created something are not the most valuable person on the chain” Ben Huh, CEO of Cheezeburger “The MVPs are the people who change it, appropriate it, and turn it into something greater.” 

While this photograph may be trying to articulate Bernie as a presidential candidate who lost to President Biden with the setting being the inauguration during the pandemic, the circulation of this particular photograph of Bernie, like the Doge meme, does not have a singular meaning or a meaning with only one interpretation.

It also helps businesses themselves, big or small. The traders can advertise for less money, or even for free if one knows how to do it well. Products can often go viral without any money being invested in marketing. It helps small businesses majorly and helps them get traction.

Types of Digital Marketing

Search Engine Optimization or SEO: This medium helps place your website right at the top of the results that search engines bring. This increases the number of visitors and therefore helps in marketing. This works when certain SEO words are used in the content that is put up on the website.

Social Media Marketing: This is one of the most effective forms of marketing and also helps engage with people and form a relationship of trust with them. It is incredibly effective and cost-effective. It helps a business read a wider but targeted audience as compared to traditional forms of advertising. One meme or one viral video can make the products of any business famous. One example is the Bernie Sanders meme of him sitting on a chair with mittens. The person who made those mittens got thousands of orders, and her business took off.

Email Marketing: Email marketing is advertising done through emails. It brings advertisements right to the person’s inbox unobtrusively. This mainly happens when people log in to shopping websites and such with their emails.

YouTube Channel: This is also a form of marketing that comes under social media but has another side to it. Often people make videos reviewing products and services to a large fanbase. If the reviews are good, many people flood in to buy the product or service. 

One main problem with digital marketing is data mining. No rules or laws have been put in place to curb the buying of users’ data. It is used to such an extent that it has been said that the user has become a product.

It is spoken as a conspiracy theory that we are being spied upon. But that is not far from the truth. Former employees of Google, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc., have spoken of how much data is stored by websites of users that use social media sites. This information is sold to marketers so they can target specific audiences with their products. These sites are designed to keep the person coming back and engaging with the sites. Almost like an addiction. Proof of this is how much the rates of online shopping increased during the lockdown. This means that social media is unsafe and has become more than a tool.

Digital marketing majorly helps all businesses, big and small, take off. It is vital in this day and age and even helps with the employment problem. This form of marketing is how one can take advantage of technology and further their business. But it is also crucial for users to be careful of what information is put out on the internet to stay safe. There must be a balance of both, and companies should be taxed on the amount of data they have.

No music hits harder then meme songs, that Bernie sanders mitten man song? The pinnacle of art

Agree like they are always catchy and most of the time full on songs that just get viral as memes like tell me hurricane Katrina isn't THE best song of the year

[azul-nova-24]

Thank you so much for correcting me about what is the position held by Bernie Sanders in the Government. @enigma-the-mysterious As for the meme people are referring to about Bernie Sanders is this one.

Cause his photo was taken during the inaguration of Biden and was turned into a meme about how he was one of the old men to follow the covid-19 rule and "broke" dress code by dressing in a weather appropriate cloths while having a grumpy face.

Not to mention his iconic mittens he wore which I belive were knit by a school teacher who runs a non-profit organization.

There are also some things Bernie is famous for:

He supported Gay rights during a time period that if you were found to be gay in the American military you could be kicked out.

Also, He became popular for his Vermont accent as well.

This is just the tip of the Ice berg about the stuff done by Bernie Sanders. If you search him up there is plenty of other stuff that he has done in his career.

You were wrong. Those bitches in RRR ain't gay. Homosexuality does not even begin to describe the shit that's going on between them. I am so disappointed in you. Now excuse me as I think about this movie till the heat death of the universe

Tron and Bernie look so much alike!

[chibi-pix]

You remind me of the meme. What meme? The meme with the mittens. What mittens? The mittens of Bernie. Bernie? Sanders. Do what? You remind me of the meme!

Hey y’all! So yesterday, Mama and I were chatting about the Bernie Sanders meme and as I joke, I told her I should put him in a scene of Labyrinth. Well, I did. And I have no regrets. Mama said I should share it along with the little lyrics I could come up with earlier here, so here I am sharing it.  I hope y’all enjoy!
