We’re guessing that Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders wasn’t very familiar with the social messaging app Snapchat when he leaned into a supporter’s iPhone in September and gave a hearty, “Hey, Snapshot.”
Someone in his campaign has likely given him a tutorial in the interim, because the New York Daily News reports that Sanders has officially joined “Snapshot” as bernie.sanders.
What is this Snapshot thing and why do I only get ten seconds? pic.twitter.com/5RfsywwE2Z

Sanders’ post has racked up 15,000 “loves” in the space of one workday, and if Twitter didn’t have a “Love” button before today, it would have had to have added one.
