17 Bernie Sanders-Inspired Valentine's Day Gifts

There exists a mantra that says you should never discuss politics or religion on a first date, but how could you not when there are so many spectacular Bernie Sanders Valentine's Day gifts out there? And with Sanders' predicted win in the New Hampshire primaries, it's possible that this presidential hopeful may be a hot dinner topic at your V-Day events later this week.

While some have claimed that women should support Clinton's bid based on her gender, Sanders has his own impressive record when it comes to women's rights. With his statements on intersectional feminism, reproductive rights, and education, Bern has won the hearts of many Millennials who identify with his messages.

And everything from Sanders' hair to his quips have become Internet fodder for not just memes, but also creative apparel, accessories, decor, and other gifts. Leave it to the Internet generation to show its political support through handmade prayer candles, artwork featuring Sanders on a unicorn, and T-shirts with slogans that play on pop culture and song lyrics.

When love is in the air on Valentine's Day, who says that it has to be romantic love and not a deep desire to fight the 1 percent and support some independent artists in the process? And why bring your valentine roses when you can bring them handmade red Bernie Sanders panties instead? Let your love bern with the following gifts.

1. Bernie Pride

I think the title of this print ("Bernie Sanders Riding An Alacorn Wielding The Sword of Truth") really speaks to the level of Bern this artist is feeling.
