As a seasoned gamer and digital native, I find this interaction between Bernie Sanders and Sykkuno nothing short of refreshing and engaging. Politicians stepping out of their comfort zones to engage with younger generations on platforms like Twitch is a breath of fresh air. It’s not just about politics; it’s about connection, understanding, and bridging the gap between different worlds.
Senator Bernie Sanders participated in a live, open discussion on Twitch with multiple streamers, covering diverse political issues.
Bernie Sanders meets Vtuber Sykkuno
Yesterday, Bernie Sanders, who is famously associated with memes, participated in a live stream on Twitch alongside several well-known Twitch broadcasters, discussing the present political climate in the United States.
The individuals who initially welcomed Sanders upon entering the video call were AustinShow, our host, Pokimane dressed in attire reminiscent of the famous “Bernie Sanders Mittens” meme, and Sykkuno, a popular internet personality known as a vtuber.
Speedily, Sykkuno clarified the reason behind him not revealing his true face on camera and opting for an avatar instead, sparking a humorous but short exchange with Sanders.
“Have you heard of a Vtuber before?” Sykkuno asked, to which Sanders simply replied: “Nope!“
As a long-time fan of streaming platforms, I’ve seen my fair share of personalities and reactions. But let me tell you, the jovial outburst from Sykkuno during that call was something special. His infectious enthusiasm as he declared “I’m the first one!” filled the virtual room with laughter, a moment that stood out among countless others in my streaming life. And to top it off, his humble thank you for support towards Vtubers just made me love him even more. That brief interaction was a testament to Sykkuno’s genuine and entertaining spirit, leaving a lasting impression on this long-time viewer.
Noticing Sanders’ perplexity, Pokimane swiftly provided clarification: “That refers to their animated avatar.
“Well, there you are,” Sanders replied with a smile. “You’re looking good!”
The conversation was short-lived, but quickly went viral as viewers clipped this moment and shared it anywhere they could. It was clearly another home run for Sanders.

It’s intriguing to watch politicians, particularly the eldest ones, attempting to connect with younger generations, whether through conventional media or live broadcasts. However, being receptive to such conversations is part of what makes Sanders popular. Even when he seems not entirely in sync, his genuine approach endears him to many.
