Jon Fishman has finally joined Twitter. The Phish drummer revealed the news today, along with his new handle: @jfishman600. Fishman decided to take the plunge out of a desire to express his support for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who is also currently an Independent Senator from Vermont. As of now, the drummer’s only Twitter activity has been a retweet of Sanders’ call for earlier debates.

A post on Fishman’s personal Facebook page reads:

Hey! Ok I finally bit the bullet and signed up to Twitter only because I’m so freakin’ wishing Bernie Sanders becomes our next President I’m getting behind it as much as I can. He’s the only actual human being in the race right now. The rest of ‘em are a bunch of fucking animals and posers in it more for power or personal gain than people. So, if you’re interested my Twitter handle is @jfishman600. See you there!
