Okay, to be fair, the freshman Representative jumped into the conversation to have a chat about a little more than just 64-bit gaming. The discussion was held during a charity Stream on Twitch that benefited Mermaidsâ??an organization that works to support gender-diverse teenagers and children. She took a moment to discuss how Trans discrimination is a “core reason” for income inequality. And this all went down shortly after Aaron Sorkin, best known for writing TV shows about made-up politicians, called out Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats for “acting like young people.” Here’s how she felt about that:
If you’re not familiar with Twitch, it’s a video streaming service that has been gaining steam in the gaming community for years now. Users broadcast all types of content, from livestreaming while they play, to gaming-centric “talk shows.” Viewers also have the option to interact with the streamer in real time. Streams are then saved and can be rewatched by anyone later. It’s a huge platform, and one that makes sense for someone like Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to establish her presence on.
As of 2018, Twitch has helped raise over $100 million dollars for charitable causes since 2011. Perhaps if more representatives took time to “act like young people” and hop on Twitch or interview a dentist about the immigration process on Instagram, we’d see a little more political efficacy among our nation’s youth. Then again, maybe we’ll take that back when we see Joe Biden flossing on Fortnite.
