In reply to the discussion: AOC now streaming live on Twitch [View all]PTWB
(4,131 posts)75. You're right.
All these hundreds of thousands of people aren't worth AOC's time. She's foolish for talking to them about healthcare and the environment. Why on earth is she encouraging young people to vote? They never do!
Heck, some of the nearly half a million viewers might not even be Americans. Some that are Americans might not even be registered Democrats yet! Why on earth would she try to engage with them by participating in an activity they can relate to? What could we possibly gain by trying to engage nearly half a million young people?
We ought not even try.

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!
