Comic for Friday 2/28 (Early High Res)

I kind of guessed that was Bernie based off of looks and his statement. But I was unaware that particular line had reached the level of being a meme and so the joke of it being a reference to a meme completely went over my head. It's possible it's only reached the point of being a meme in certain political bubbles.

Thank you to those who commented, I am not a participant in the fb experiment, so context really helped.

Bernie Sanders relies upon small donations from individual donors rather than large contributions from corporate entities. As such, ads leading with that line are all over the place on Facebook (and other platforms too, I'm sure). I (a staunch Bernie supporter) got a chuckle out of this, but I'm interested to see the frothy-mouthed rage this strip is going to generate from either side on the normal CAD-comic site.

For anyone not clear, that's supposed to be Bernie Sanders, in one of his facebook ads asking for financial contributions to his campaign to be president.

I'll be honest: i don't get it

Hmmm... I don't know if I understand the humor of this one as much. the news about the stuff in the first panel has been around for what feels like... months? but I must have missed something lately, so the punchline is lost to me.
