Cool. What policies are they going to talk about?

Roll back to Burning Crusade.

Burn Bobby kotick at the stake?

Tune in and find out? You could also just go to the Harris website and read them for yourself.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Durotar's right to defend itself against Kobold terrorists.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

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.

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.

"Mr. Walz what is your position on student loan forgiveness?"

"Stop DOTs"

"Interesting. What do you think the escalating border issues?"

"Many whelps. Handle it."

"How do you propose we handle increasing aggression from Russia?"

"LEEEEROOOOOOOOY JEEEEEEENNNNKIIIIIIINNNSSS"

Trump stands in the fire

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 117 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

[–] recentSloth43@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

It was pushed on my home page. I reported for inciting terrorism, and reported the twitch app on google store for political terrorism.

[–] neoman4426@fedia.io 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] recentSloth43@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

Yeah gotta give him a chance to do a major insurrection obviously, because that sounds like they banned him for failing the first time 🙄

What year is it? 2004?

The median WoW player has to be at least 38.

[–] Naura@startrek.website 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I waited in line at the fountain valley fry’s.

43 here lol

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

We could tell from frys

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago

If not older. I'm older than 38 and my guild mates are older than me.

[–] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 136 points 1 day ago (12 children)

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?
