In reply to the discussion: AOC now streaming live on Twitch [View all]PTWB
(4,131 posts)AOC (and Ilhan Omar, who was also a participant) spoke frequently about the importance of voting. They talked about the need to make a plan to vote if this is your first time voting. They encouraged young people to help others make a plan to vote. They talked progressive issues like healthcare and the environment and the importance of voting for Joe.
430,000 tuned in to watch AOC play a popular video game and talk about voting.
Another 100,000+ watched the streams of the folks who she was playing with and got to hear her talk about voting and progressive issues.
And those are just the people who watched live. The folks she was playing with are quite popular in their own right - combined, their subscribers are nearly 10 million. Those folks are going to put out videos of the event and those videos will be seen by millions.
Pretty good for 10pm on a Tuesday, if you ask me.
