8 Reasons Why Bernie Sanders Is My Favorite Tío

After the debacle that was Hillary Clinton claiming to be my abuela last winter, I had to recover from such pandering. But during this awkward episode, I had time to think; Although Clinton is by all means NOT my abuela, here are 8 reasons why Bernie Sanders is definitely my tío

1. He constantly has messed up hair and doesn’t care to try and fix it

And if you ask him about it, he'll swear it's a style choice...

2. He drinks Dunkin' Donuts coffee on the train-

3. He's speaks loudly and expressively with his hands, so you always think he’s yelling at you.

But he's just passionate about his arroz con pollo and immigration reform.

4. He has a thick accent that’s kinda hard to understand

He's not exactly from La Isla, but he's from Brooklyn and that's close enough.

5. Chicks dig him

Puro callejero with rappers/activists, like Killer Mike

8. He can be sassy sometimes-
