The Bernie Sanders Twitch Channel meme emerged in June 2019 when the Senator officially launched his channel to reach younger voters through live streaming. The internet immediately seized the juxtaposition of a veteran politician entering the world of gaming, leading to countless edits placing Bernie in famous video games or giving him 'gamer' dialogue. It frequently utilizes the 'I am once again asking' format, adapted for Twitch culture—like asking for Prime subscriptions or reacting to 'POG' moments. This template has become a staple for blending political commentary with internet subcultures, highlighting the Senator's unique digital presence.
