Playing WoW with a political speech playing in the background/split screen is the most serial killer coded shit you could possibly imagine.

Who is this for?

This is how I consume most content when I’m on my pc, I’m even more depraved and play dota dennis-stare

There is nothing that I can do to hurt you, more than you have done to yourself

[-] Sausage@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

Luckily I only have the energy to get out of bed unless I need to once a week

[-] footfaults@hexbear.net 10 points 5 days ago

Alright now I'm sad. I hope you turn the corner and things start getting better

[-] Sausage@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

Mental illness rarely gets better, I’m usually aiming for things not getting worse.

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 5 days ago

consuming inedible things was your first mistake

She has more money than the entire GDP of Grenada, couldn't buy an election to save this falling empire

Wine liberals nostalgic for their college years. maybe-later-honey

It's bonkers to me though. Like are there any voters that fit this tiny demographic who aren't going to vote for Kamala, that would suddenly switch to voting for her, from this?

Like what base of voters who were discouraged, are going to be energized by this?

Like how many?

And then compare that to how many they are discouraging with their embrace of Dick Cheney and committing a genocide.

Like this doesn't add up. At all, and I'm not even charging millions for this advice.

Like you could make a case that this gets The Young People activated, but there are other ways that have bigger impact and could accomplish the same thing, more effectively, for less money

Harris has the political instincts of a brunch liberal. They don't have to have stronger instincts because they land somewhere anyway. good-morning

[-] footfaults@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

You make a good point. She dropped out of the primary in 2016 before she got her ass handed to her in her home state, and she is now the presidential nominee in 2020 without having a single voter vote for her so really why would she think this wouldn't work

[-] miz@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago

2020* and 2024* respectively

[-] footfaults@hexbear.net 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah... It's been a long decade sorry

[-] SoJB@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 days ago

You gotta get creative when your official platform is indistinguishable from the RNC ticket.

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

If they dont spend they money they can't justify all those campaign donations

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 32 points 5 days ago

Why are US politicians so cringe?

To think this doomed a politician once. Oh, simple times.

[-] HamManBad@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

At first I was surprised that had it's own Wikipedia page. Then I saw how big the article was... Holy shit

[-] TheChemist@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

Probably because they live under a delusion that, because they are a politician, they are wise and intelligent and/or in touch with the common people.

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 26 points 6 days ago

so it's some person playing wow alongside walz talking sorta like subway surfers on the side of videos?

if so kinda nailing zoomer content ngl

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to immediately think "Beltway Surfers" upon seeing this image.

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

Remember when they had to go to soup kitchens and at least put on a paper thin pretense of being actually materially useful to society? sadness

[-] Torenico@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

The wholesome genocide friendly white grandad will be in a super 1337 zoomer gamingz streamz to promote genocide 💞💞

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 18 points 6 days ago

What a timely and cutting edge cool and hip game to be playing, totally not burdened with "Cosby Room" and breastmilk stealing brofuckery in the corporate offices or Bobby Kotick skullduggery behind the scenes! fellow-kids

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Trump is supposedly a great threat to democracy…and look at how little the Dems are taking this seriously. Might as well make a speech with family guy funny moments in the background.

They got their ass handed to them in 2016 in the most humiliating way, and they still think they can do victory laps before going into the endzone in the year of our lord 2024.

"We need to win at all costs democracy is on the line."

The costs they are willing to pay: hiring a gamer

Once again proving Uncle Ted right; games and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

How do we live in a world where this is real. It makes no sense.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 6 days ago

I'm hip I'm "jiggy" with it jokermala

[-] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 12 points 5 days ago

he couldve just done what george santos did and play fortnite

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago

It's fitting because the current WoW expansion's first tier is about deposing an evil power hungry warmonger queen (Harris) after she overthrew the previous queen and left her a braindead but still living husk (Biden).

That's right folks, one of the campaign managers for Harris is still Ridin' With Biden

Picking an MMO that has been around since Dubya's second term

They're really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. At least pick L*ague or something.
