Bernie Sanders Once Again Asking Meme Template
The image comes from a December 30, 2019 Sanders campaign fundraising video posted ahead of the year-end FEC deadline; Sanders directly asked viewers for financial support. The CSV’s January 21, 2020 video date is incorrect. The screenshot became an image macro in January 2020, commonly replacing “financial support” with a concrete request. That shift puts the candidate’s earnest, repeated appeal against everyday needs, creating humor through persistence and a serious delivery applied to a trivial or familiar ask. The request can also be sincere, especially around support or money, so captions should not trivialize hardship or falsely imply Sanders endorsed a specific request.

What the Bernie Sanders Once Again Asking meme means
The image comes from a December 30, 2019 Sanders campaign fundraising video posted ahead of the year-end FEC deadline; Sanders directly asked viewers for financial support. The CSV’s January 21, 2020 video date is incorrect. The screenshot became an image macro in January 2020, commonly replacing “financial support” with a concrete request. That shift puts the candidate’s earnest, repeated appeal against everyday needs, creating humor through persistence and a serious delivery applied to a trivial or familiar ask. The request can also be sincere, especially around support or money, so captions should not trivialize hardship or falsely imply Sanders endorsed a specific request.
A 926×688 still shows Bernie Sanders facing the camera outdoors in a winter coat, with a wintry street behind him. The effective layout has one full-width caption area above him and one below, supporting a persistent-ask phrase followed by its specific object or request.
How the joke works
Slot 1 (top) gives the recognizable persistent-ask lead-in, usually “I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR.” Slot 2 (bottom) names one concise, concrete thing being requested. Together they form one grammatically complete appeal; the humor usually comes from replacing the original campaign donation request with a mundane, relatable, or playfully overdramatic need. Keep the specific request clear and avoid presenting a fabricated endorsement as Sanders’s own statement.
- Top caption: write the repeated-ask lead-in, typically “I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR.”
- Bottom caption: name the concrete object, help, access, or action being requested so the two boxes read as one appeal.
Caption examples
- I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR
- THE WIFI PASSWORD
The top phrase sets up the familiar persistent plea, and the bottom names a short, relatable everyday request.
- I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR
- THE TEAM HAS THREE OPEN BUGS
The second line reports a situation rather than naming what Sanders is asking for, so the sentence does not complete the template grammar.
Situations it fits
- A teammate repeatedly needs a small decision or sign-off
- A familiar household or office request keeps having to be repeated
- A user jokingly asks for a simple resource, access, or response
- A fundraising appeal is being discussed accurately and respectfully
When this format does not fit
- Do not omit or obscure the repeated-ask setup in slot 1; it is the recognizable phrase structure.
- Do not put a second unrelated sentence in slot 2; it should complete the request introduced above.
- Do not make the request so vague that the reader cannot tell what is being asked for.
- Do not trivialize real financial hardship or turn an urgent safety, medical, or accessibility need into a frivolous gag.
