Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What year is it? 2004?
The median WoW player has to be at least 38.
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?
The title says "young voters"
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.
People don't realize just how enormous the Baby Boomers were, as a generation.
When I lived in FL, I swear I was the only one voting that wasn't retired.
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.
What are the needs that young people have that are not being addressed by the Harris campaign?
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.
Nobody wants West or Stein except for Putin lol
I was going to find the stream and see what types are in the audience. Can't find it.
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
Yeah..
Great idea. But young voters ain't playing WOW
They are watching Twitch though. And what game is playing? Doesn't seem to matter.
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.
I waited in line at the fountain valley fry’s.
43 here lol
We could tell from frys
I think there is a new Wow, or one coming.. There have been a bunch of ads about it in the last month
One just came out. It's pretty good, but that's easy to say because Shadowlands set the bar very, very low.
If not older. I'm older than 38 and my guild mates are older than me.
I feel seen.
