What year is it? 2004?

The median WoW player has to be at least 38.

I feel seen.

38 year old adults are generally assumed to be of voting age, registered, and willing to vote. Do you think he'll get better voter turnout from something like Roblox or Fortnite?

The title says "young voters"

I realized today that Trump also has a Twitch (because it was recommended to me???) that basically just (re)streams his rallies.

Reported that shit for Hateful Conduct.

Even "better", from what I recall he had what was listed as a permanent suspension after the whole "mildly incited a tiny bit of light insurrection (/s)" thing. They unbanned him specifically for this election season.

Do kids still do WoW? I assumed it'd be all parent aged folks by now

Article on Waltz's gaming history..

You know what just occurred to me, Waltz might actually be on the other tail of WoW players if he picked it up in the early 2000's. He might actually be decent at the game.

Yep. I have a relative his age or even a bit older who's been a WoW fanatic since release.

It’s not like they want to pander to 14 year olds, who historically have pretty low turnout

Man I might be imagining things, but I'm pretty sure he played it back in the 00s. I remember him saying something about 40-man raids and leadership when he was talking to a group of high school seniors about voting.

This was right at the time he was campaigning for his first term in Congress, and I doubt it was recorded anywhere. It still makes me chuckle thinking this guy is running for VP.

Twist: Tim Walz is Leeroy Jenkins

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Instant vote for him. That is some presidential behavior. I’d love to finally have a progressiveish president that just tries to get shit done.

Ngl, if a politician goes 5/9M on stream, I might just vote for them, 100% chance if they are the raid leader
