1. It would be infinitely safer

  2. It’s not worth dying on behalf of the Democratic Party

  3. She’d be able to radicalize far more young people and be the most popular streamer in history

  4. IT’S NOT WORTH DYING FOR THE FUCKIN DEMOCRATS holy shit talk about a close call

      Right but I'm not implying this is some intentional thing, I'm just saying I don't think twitch is the right platform that plays to AOC's strengths if we're talking having her leave politics entirely.

        Twitch is politics, especially if a brown former congresswoman is playing, granted that's not saying much about the current state of politics but hey, that's where we are

          Yeah I mean, I think it's great that she streams, it's an effective outreach tool. I just don't think she needs to reduce her reach by giving up being a politician entirely to do more if it.

            Yeah, but I'm SAYING that "reach" doesn't actually exist, it's just a media creation that relies on demographic misconceptions and personnel online anecdotes, which is why it doesn't matter if she streams for a living or not, and considering the recent assassination attempt brought on by said media misconception/fiction just makes retiring on its own a good idea
