Showing Original Post only (View all)AOC now streaming live on Twitch [View all]
Last edited Wed Oct 21, 2020, 12:04 AM - Edit history (1)
https://www.twitch.tv/aocShe is talking about voting right now while playing Among Us - a social game where players try to find two murderous imposters among their group while they perform tasks on a space station.
ETA: If a streamer has over 5,000 or more concurrent viewers, it is a popular stream. Streams that exceed 20K viewers are massively popular and usually have a long history of streaming to build up a fan base. AOC is now over 350K viewers and climbing for her initial stream.
The stream seems to have peaked at 430K current viewers. For comparison, the most watched Twitch stream ever featured Ninja (quite possibly the most popular streamer in the world) and the singer Drake when they attracted 600K viewers while playing Fortnite. Rep. Ilhan Omar also participated in the stream with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez. By all accounts, this initial stream was enormously popular and successful.
ETA Again: During the stream, she commented at least twice how it was absurd that the space station used a gasoline combustion engine and there were candles and cobwebs in the place.

She is spending her down time reaching out to over 400K viewers now. Is that a waste?

It's not easy for a freshman congressional rep to reach out to 400K people over two hours.

Why is that funny? It's true. That's why they call it the "world wide web"....

You said "lol", which is short for "laughing out loud". You laugh at things that aren't funny?

Other than "laughing out loud" or "laugh out loud" what else does it mean on the internet? Lol.

Yes I do know. Apparently since you're unable to respond perhaps it's YOU who doesn't know?

Well based on what you've provided here, I have my doubts. I've said what it means, you haven't. Lol

Who mentioned a Biden ad? Of 58 responses so far you're the only one who did.

Nope, not even close. I'm not watching the game so don't know anything about what ads are running.

Yes, it includes Americans. But platforms like that are rife with foreign trolls....

Ask Robert Mueller. But if it's interactive they didn't just watch, they participated too.

How many of those half a million are in the United States or are registered voters?

It's quite possible that many of them may not be US citizens. As I pointed out, "Twitch" is global.

You can, I'm not interested. I'm more interested in encouraging AMERICAN VOTERS to get out to vote..

The truth is no one is sure. Robert Mueller confirmed that in his report. G'night!
