Bernie Sanders' 404 page

I don't follow politics at all, but the more I read and hear about Bernie Sanders the more I like him. I'm sure we've got a few political experts on Hacker News so I'd love to hear if you guys think he actually has any chance of winning the presidency.

There seems to be a trend to interesting&#x2F;funny 404s for presidential campaigns.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.barackobama.com&#x2F;45325r&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.barackobama.com&#x2F;45325r&#x2F;</a> has a &quot;thanks, Obama&quot; GIF meme.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bobbyjindal.com&#x2F;dfka" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bobbyjindal.com&#x2F;dfka</a> blames the 404 on Obama with #ThanksObama&quot; too.

I think we have The Atlantic to point to for making campaign 404 pages a &quot;thing&quot;. They&#x27;ve been including a blurb about the 404 page on each candidate&#x27;s website on their 2016 Election Cheat Sheet (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theatlantic.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;archive&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;2016-election&#x2F;384828&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theatlantic.com&#x2F;politics&#x2F;archive&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;2016-ele...</a>)<p>404 pages are an opportunity to hide an easter egg but I wonder what presidential 404 page got The Atlantic focused on this trend in the first place.

Isn&#x27;t it Bernie Sanders&#x27;, not *Bernie Sander&#x27;s?<p>(Edit: or Sanders&#x27;s, indeed. That&#x27;s what I&#x27;d usually write.)

Wish he could possibly record a video response for all the HTTP status codes. Especially interested in <i>417 Expectation Failed</i> and <i>451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons </i>

I wonder if this says more about Bernie or more about his supporters. The video almost reminds me of how I talk my 88 year old grandfather through computer tasks.

I can&#x27;t be the only person who thinks he sounds like Seinfeld&#x27;s George Steinbrenner (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=XJtDt10fRqw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=XJtDt10fRqw</a>)

It might seem weird for young adults, but many 60+ would believe it&#x27;s a quite useful and easy 404.

Pretty nice UX, actually. Even a stereotypical grandma with no knowledge of the internet would probably have a high change of getting being told to scoot down to the nav below with a hand gesture and head back. Bet it retains users on the site better than a 404 without the video would.

Does anyone have a transcript for this? For the folks like me, who have access issues at work.

I&#x27;ve been following him since I took the &#x27;isidewith&#x27; quiz. I hadn&#x27;t even heard of him before, but he&#x27;s 96% compatible with my stances.<p>Wouldn&#x27;t it be nice if everyone instead of voting for a certain candidate, voted on the issues, and the candidate who voted most like the population would win... and their votes would be made public.

Most 404 accesses are from people probing a server for common URL&#x27;s belonging to vulnerable web applications.<p>Thus my 404 page is a honeypot, and too many 404 accesses in a short period results in an automatic IP ban.

I&#x27;m just curious from where in his campaign management the impetus to pay attention to this sort of detail would have come.

Warning: the page auto plays a video. Apparently its HTML5 so flashblockers don&#x27;t work.

I&#x27;m no fan of Bernie Sanders in general, but I have to admit, that was pretty nifty. Good jooooeerrrrb, Sanders Team!

An auto-loading video just because you ended up on a wrong URL? With a great part of visitors being on mobile, is this really the best use for bandwidth?

It&#x27;s not a good 404 though. Telling people to go back home and search, while probably the site reorganized their content without providing updated pointers.
