There are two types of people in this world, those who want to be right and those who want to get it right. The former have opinions first and then look for validation, the latter form their opinions based on reality.

The two butted heads recently at the San Francisco Punchline when comedian Steve Hofstetter made a political joke about the 2016 election.

Hofstetter supported Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary and voted for Hillary Clinton in the presidential election versus Donald Trump.


“I’m a Mets fan. Love the Mets. Hate the Braves,” he said. “But if the Braves were ever in the World Series against Isis, go Braves!”

In a question-and-answer session after his set, a man in the audience told Hofstetter that Sanders never held a job until he was 40 years old. While his point seemed to come from nowhere, it’s actually a commonly-held belief in the right-wing bubble.

It’s mentioned in the American Spectator here and debunked here.

The narrative that Bernie Sanders couldn’t fend for himself as an adult feeds into the stereotype that Democratic Socialists are simply people who want to mooch off of hard-working Americans. Which is far from the truth.
