Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

No it's the way I phrased it, she wants them controlled, either banned entirely or very strictly monitored.

Thats not even a hard left position for the States, which really says something about the depth of the problem. Same with abortion. Mainstream average Americans on balance heavily favor right to choose and bans/far stricter regulations on the sale of firearms.

Well isn't that basically americas political problem in a nutshell? About 20% of Americans identify as republicans and yet they are the dominant party despite a new republican president not winning the popular vote in nearly 40 years.

They are the ruling minority who openly brag about using illegal disenfranchisement, voter suppression and gerrymandering as ways to compete against the majority.

Yes, but I'd say the Republicans allowing Trump to take over the party and leverage the most extreme and least educated segment of the base tells you a lot about how their core message is eroding -- fiscal discipline, strong foreign policy, lower regulations, lower taxes, conservative social principles. That last one is a real bugbear for the party. Hell, this year the Republicans just Xeroxed their platform from 2016 -- literally. They're out of ideas, so a populist has infected and co-opted the entire party. But they aren't "dominant" -- it's a cult of personality that is currently "dominating" but if all goes well that's going to get repudiated in spades in a month (albeit with plenty of potential monkey wrenches to dodge). If the House, Senate and Presidency are blue the red side of America needs a pretty long think at how to regain the national stage.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will stream Among Us tonight beginning at 9 pm ET​

I find this absolutely fascinating. She will be joining the gaming streaming platform and playing Among Us later tonight. No doubt she will be joined by many young liberal Americans, but I feel that the platform and using this as a way of connecting is incredible. I would be interested to see if she's actually any good at gaming or not haha!

She and other politician should fuck off and let folk game in peace.

Its an escape for many, not an opportunity to canvas for a vote.

What next? Trump entering a Madden competition, Boris on FIFA?

The thought of Trump rage quitting a game of Madden fills me with absolute glee. Obviously AOC see's herself as down with the kids. But I am very interested to see if this will work. Will all those youngsters that don't see any point in voting think "She's a streamer and a gamer. She must be cool". Probably. Definitely more in common with her than the ramblings of some old billionaire.

More likely to rage-quit a game of Pong -- he and his tiny paddle.
