I realized today that Trump also has a Twitch (because it was recommended to me???) that basically just (re)streams his rallies.

Reported that shit for Hateful Conduct.

Even "better", from what I recall he had what was listed as a permanent suspension after the whole "mildly incited a tiny bit of light insurrection (/s)" thing. They unbanned him specifically for this election season.

Yeah gotta give him a chance to do a major insurrection obviously, because that sounds like they banned him for failing the first time 🙄

Man I might be imagining things, but I'm pretty sure he played it back in the 00s. I remember him saying something about 40-man raids and leadership when he was talking to a group of high school seniors about voting.

This was right at the time he was campaigning for his first term in Congress, and I doubt it was recorded anywhere. It still makes me chuckle thinking this guy is running for VP.

"Mr. Walz what is your position on student loan forgiveness?"

"Stop DOTs"

"Interesting. What do you think the escalating border issues?"

"Many whelps. Handle it."

I saw that. For the first time, I saw that Kamala Harris was live in my recommended channels, instead of Donald Trump, who is live every other day.

They've a lot of time and some viewers to make up, but it's a good start.

Cool. What policies are they going to talk about?

Tune in and find out? You could also just go to the Harris website and read them for yourself.

As someone who swore off WoW not for gameplay reasons, but due to appalling behavior by Blizzard management, I'm not sure I think associating your political campaign with the game is a good idea.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

I get what you're saying, but I also can't fault a political campaign for defaulting to the most "basic-bitch" MMO they can find for this sort of stunt. A VP who's opinionated enough about Blizzard v. BNETD to eschew WoW is, frankly, too much to hope for.

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

What makes wow a basic bitch?

Also, I think they went with it because it's popular and apparently walz has a history with it.
