Best uses for the Bernie Sanders Once Again Asking template

Use the Bernie Sanders Once Again Asking template when the joke fits a politics and news format and the image can explain the feeling before the reader finishes the caption. It is strongest for current events, public reactions, and debate-style jokes.

This blank is 926 x 688 px and is a still image, so place the most important words where they stay readable after a feed crop. The wide frame works best when the caption stays centered so timeline crops do not cut off the joke.

The sample captions leave room for a setup and a punchline without turning into a paragraph. Before exporting, read the caption once without looking at the image; if it still needs a long explanation, switch to a simpler setup or a more obvious related template.

Caption patterns to try

Common mistakes with this blank

  • Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Bernie Sanders Once Again Asking image do part of the work.
  • Placing text over the most expressive part of the image, especially faces, gestures, signs, or the main action.
  • Using three different ideas in one meme. This template works better when it points at one clear situation.
  • Exporting before checking the meme at phone size. If the smallest words blur together, shorten the caption first.
