Bernie Sanders has got his own set of emojis

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/bernie-sanders-has-got-his-own-set-of-emojis-10487691.html

Need to express your enduring love for Bernie Sanders and a particular emotion at the same time?

Now, there's an app for that. At a time when politics and pop culture seem to overlap more than ever — when Kanye West and Deez Nuts are both seen as presidential candidates with actual potential by many voters — is anyone really surprised that Bernie Sanders has been emoji-fied?

The Berniemoji app, which is free to download from the App Store, allows users to insert emoji modelled on the candidate’s face into digital messages. Feeling happy?

Tell your entire contact list by adding a cartoon image of a smiling Sanders, complete with flowing white hair and granny glasses, to an email or text. In a sour mood?
