It wasn't written about him of course...but I think for most of them it fits their view of him perfectly:

I'm starting to wonder whether BRTD is a part of some false flag operation launched by Hillary's campaign to discredit Sanders' supporters.

This post certainly should make us suspicious.

This post here gave me the heebiest of the jeebies. I'm already doing my best to take Sanders supporters seriously (they seem like they mean well), but this right here certainly ain't helping.

Seriously, BRTD? This sort of personality cult completely misses the whole point of Bernie's campaign: it's not about him, but about our shared ideas and principles.

Are you suggesting anyone can or should have their own theme song?

No reason you can't. More like this would make a better sort of unofficial anthem of Sanders supporters though.

I wonder if the band voted for Sanders. In 2013 one of their guitarists made comments that made SJWs mad so they kicked him out.

They are from Iowa too, so they would've had the first chance to vote for him.

The narrator of 'Money for Nothing' would obviously be a Trump supporter. Mark Knopfler strikes me as the sort of person who's probably ready for Hillary.

It would be like saying IceSpear is representative of Hillary supporters as a whole.

Nah, that song doesn't have nearly enough misogyny to be the Bernie theme song.

I have to ask you though, what's your opinion of that song's lyrical content? (As it's obvious as to who it's actually about.)

Please stop trying to get this to be a thing, BRTD. It's never going to be a thing.

Someone who finds that uncomfortable and yet still listens to For Today would make as much sense as some Reddit type who found ultra-politically correct SJW-style feminist stuff to be uncomfortable listening to This Ship Will Sink or Wrong Day To Quit. It's not like For Today are some Hundredth or Stretch Arm Strong-esque "Christian" band who denied the label and really just had a very positive and uplifting message with a bit of a Christian undertone.
