Witness Bernie Sanders' very relatable clothes chair

Don't lie, we all have a clothes chair.

Presidential candidates: They're just like us!

Bernie Sanders has marketed himself as a man of the people. His campaign platform focuses on uplifting the working class. He does his own laundry. He and his wife Jane keep holiday cards for years. He says he doesn't get enough sleep. And an analysis of a recent photo shows that like many Americans, the Vermont senator has a clothes chair.

You know what we're talking about. The chair. The one surface in the house designated not for sitting, but for dumping laundry on when you're just too lazy to fold it, wash it, or put it away. It's a habit that haunts Americans nationwide, and evidently, it even affects the Sanders household.

Sanders' son, Levi Sanders, tweeted a photo of his father watching television on Wednesday night. The photo appears to be Sanders' modest Burlington, Vermont home when compared to a previous house tour from Yahoo News. The living room features wall-to-wall carpeting, shelves cluttered with knick knacks and framed photos, and a single chair piled with folded clothing and topped off with a photo that appears to be of Sanders and his wife, Jane.

That, folks, is a clothes chair.

Twitter users quickly latched onto Sanders' extremely relatable house decor.

In this dark timeline, the clothes chair and Elizabeth Warren's rascal dog are a welcome respite from the constant discourse.

No matter your political stance, we can at least all agree on one thing — it's pretty much impossible to get rid of the clothes chair.
