[Just what the OP says.](http://samuel-warde.com/2016/02/bernie-sanders-dating-site-crashes-form-influx-of-traffic/) Apparently there’s an untapped market.

Now if I could just get my mom to check it out…she’s been way too single for way too long, but I think she’s backing Hillary Clinton.

(Apparently there’s also a [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/1553767758247375/) to tide you over until they beef up their own servers.)

Not sure “Feel the Bern” is the best slogan for a dating site. Though it might be the most honest.

So Steinem is right; the girls are backing Bernie to meet boys.

Yeesh! I may be a huge Bernie Sandwiches fan, but I’m not sure I’d consider that to be a good criterion for dating. Now, Trump supporters on the other hand… I hear they’re wicked crazy in the sack.
