It's only February 2019 and there's already more presidential candidates than there are members of Brockhampton.

Bernie Sanders, the runner-up of&nbsp;the 2016 presidential election&#39;s&nbsp;Democratic primary,&nbsp;announced this week that he will be entering the 2020 race with renewed enthusiasm and the same policies. &nbsp;Although Sanders&rsquo; chances of winning are low after he came up short&nbsp;in the past election cycle, they are now even slimmer because of&nbsp;the sheer number of candidates competing for the presidency.

However, don&#39;t mention any of this to Bernie&rsquo;s borderline fanatic supporters. &nbsp;One subsect of his celebrity-esque following, the college-aged fans who earned the name&nbsp;Bernie Bros,&nbsp;possesses more zeal for Bernie&rsquo;s potential election than they do for their own poli-sci degrees. &nbsp;These protest attendees seemingly have little to relate to the Larry David look-alike, but Patagonia wearers young and old do have one thing in common: an unabashed love for the crown jewel of Vermont.

The contradictions of a political campaign resemble the tendencies of those comprising&nbsp;its following, and Bernie Bros, who will sulk through an hour-long visit with their grandma but will happily line up all day (rain or shine)&nbsp;to attend Sanders&#39;&nbsp;support rallies, are no exception. &nbsp;The politician&rsquo;s age, which is people within his age bracket see&nbsp;as a hindrance, is something younger generations find fashionable, as they&nbsp;view his political impatience&nbsp;as endearing. If old is in, Sanders is very in.

In addition to his age, Sanders&rsquo; success has a measurable&nbsp;monetary value, as he&nbsp;generated&nbsp;twice the amount of donations within four hours of his announcement as fellow candidate Kamala Harris did in a full day. &nbsp;This is all to say that although Sanders&rsquo; ambitious policies have prompted a significant amount of exuberance from his fans, they may not be able to succeed within a political environment in which right-wing extremism is on the rise. &nbsp;However, if you ask Bernie&rsquo;s brand of young, white, wealthy, social justice warriors: Bernie or bust.
