Tim Walz Rally Goes Live on World of Warcraft Twitch Stream | This is the latest chapter of the Kamala Harris campaign’s effort to reach young male voters
This is the latest chapter of the Kamala Harris campaign’s effort to reach young male voters.
What year is it? 2004?
The median WoW player has to be at least 38.
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
If not older. I'm older than 38 and my guild mates are older than me.
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.
I feel seen.
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 🙄
It was pushed on my home page. I reported for inciting terrorism, and reported the twitch app on google store for political terrorism.
Do kids still do WoW? I assumed it'd be all parent aged folks by now
Article on Waltz's gaming history..
You know what just occurred to me, Waltz might actually be on the other tail of WoW players if he picked it up in the early 2000's. He might actually be decent at the game.
It’s not like they want to pander to 14 year olds, who historically have pretty low turnout
Children never show up to vote, that's why they keep losing their rights.
It is.
Yeah well, they need to vote too. Hope it went well
Yeah, I'd guess the average age is probably ~30-35+ years old. There are probably some younger kids that play, but I'd be surprised if they represented more than a marginal amount of the overall playerbase.
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.
This is one of my top two episodes!!!
Well here's some fun info for ya
"How do you kill... that which has no life?" Is one of the best lines.
"How can you kill that which has no life?"
Twist: Tim Walz is Leeroy Jenkins
Instant vote for him. That is some presidential behavior. I’d love to finally have a progressiveish president that just tries to get shit done.
The Dean Scream of Wow. Only it got him more famous and traction.
As long as we got someone crunching the numbers, I'm cool with there being a Leroy Jenkins to ignore the stats.
‘least I have a chicken in every pot’
Ngl, if a politician goes 5/9M on stream, I might just vote for them, 100% chance if they are the raid leader
If he can get 40 randos into the same instance in under 30 minutes and kill the boss, an entire country is nothing.
What is 5/9M?
Kill 5 bosses out of the 9 total in a raid dungeon in the mythic difficulty
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.
What's his build?
Demo-lock to trigger the weirdos.
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.
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.
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.
Drag would vote for a politician who streams Warframe
Lmao, then you should have went to Valorant or Overwatch.
He wants to reach out to people of voting age, not children.
Tbh Overwatch is already 8 years old. If they picked up the game as a teenager when it was most popular, chances are they can vote. While there are a lot of teens who play the game, there's quite a large 20s demographic
Maybe next...

Wtf nobody under 30 is going to vote for genocide. You lost them
I’m absolutely certain that you’re entirely wrong.
Got vote for Trump then. That'll really prove your point.
