Have you heard the news? Everyone's running for president in 2020! Well, sort of.

It's still early, but 22 whole Democrats have already announced their plans to campaign, and boy does it feel like a lot of people.

On Tuesday, Twitter user @MorganJerkins posed quite the challenge to followers by asking if anyone was able to name all 22 Democratic presidential candidates.

Jerkins' question was "very serious." She swears. But alas, unable to resist the opportunity to joke, the unhinged people of social media used the question as fuel for a new political meme.

To poke fun at the ridiculously large pool of Democratic candidates, people quote-tweeted Jerkins' question and each offered their own creative responses.

Perhaps this joke is foreshadowing something about the upcoming election cycle, but we can't possibly think about that just yet.

For now, let us enjoy simply laughing at this joke. Because knowing politics, our genuine giggles will probably turn to nervous laughter very soon.
