Last August Sen. Bernie Sanders promoted a socialist rally against “corporate greed” that ironically was accused of ripping off Dunkin’ Donuts’ branding:

This is just perfect:
I can’t help but wonder if you also need to show a photo ID in order to gain entrance.

Yep, there’s nothing like shelling out over a hundred bucks to listen to a socialist with three homes rail against capitalism and take home a copy of his book.
