      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?

          Have you ever voted? Like, gone to the voting booth and voted? How about attended a caucus or primary? Because I regularly do, I’m 45, and I’m typically the youngest person in the building.

          The US voting base is old as fuck.

            I first voted when I was 18. Younger people vote when you give them a candidate that actually speaks to their needs. If we had West and Stein on the national debate stage, I’m sure we’d have more young voters.

                I mean the greatest threat to the future is the climate crisis and nuclear arsenals. Both of those require dismantling the military industrial complex.

                Harris has doubled down on continuing to extract carbon and spending on the military.

                But those are just the existential threats

                  I hear you, but please still get out and vote for Harris/Walz this November. This is about keeping the infrastructure of representative democracy in place so we will be able to work towards those needed changes. If Trump wins, all that is going away, and those of us guilty of thought crimes such as believing in global warming will end up in prison at best.

          I can glimpse 6:30PM before the paywall blocks it, though I can’t see what timezone. Looks like EST or CST, so probably just ended and vod should be up soon somewhere?

          It’s twitch. Go on any channel with above 500-1000 viewers and it’ll all be the same. Unless it’s a super modded channel with sub-only and slow mode and shit. Even then you get quite a bit of spam

      My bro is exactly 38 and plays WoW daily 😅 so from my perspective you can’t be far off. Apropros for people saying wow players can vote, the attempt was to reach young voters.
