They really don't understand just how hollow this focus tested "try to please the maximum number of people" kind of "outreach" actually feels. You can see the gears whirring in the heads of the suits who planned this. "Ah yes, the plebs love football and video games, so we should have the candidates play a football video game to show the plebs how relatable they are. It's a sport and a video game, two incredibly low brow forms of entertainment, so we don't need to bother to coach the candidates on it, it's so simple a monkey could do it."

How do you do fellow genocide enthusiasts?

All this orange stain on my fingers is from these flaming Cheetos. Speaking of which DAE bad? You don't want that stain on your fingers. Our brand genocide doesn't leave visible stains. Now with more ethnic cleansing power!

ALSO IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF FASCISM, DON'T YOU BOZOS HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO

They are not, one is a cynical career politician, the other sent soldiers to suppress protestors

so predictable that it would go like that

someone else summed it up but it is absolutely bizarre that they think they can get away with having fuck all policy, and then do half arsed panders like this to make it up. Seriously dog brained from whoever came up with this shite.

Of course, they can't talk concussion crisis or anything at all important because that risks placing them on a 'position', when the Dems approach is to have no position at all... but from an entertainment perspective -

why wouldn't they just get Walz to get 'coached' by someone who knows how to play on stream? Walz can do his whole fuddy duddy uncle routine like your dad who doesn't get vidya, eat a fucking hot dog, say thanks everyone, remember to vote, and call it a day.

The American political system is so rotted through with nepotism and cold-dead-eyes that it's incapable of doing anything at all.

If you reported this as a bit that is pretty good ngl

It's what the unions wanted her to do.

I saw a clip of AOC crowing about how happy she was not to have to do another four years of "resistance stuff" or something. IDK if it was from this but it was something. like something...

I guess them playing the new call of duty would be a little too on the nose

Bit idea:

1 issue voter, where the issue is whether or not the candidate could wreck me in a 1v1 match with instagib in Quake 3.

They should have played Shadow Generations

This makes me want to scream: Video games are bourgeois decadence!

Huge missed opportunity to set up a session of NFL Blitz for them. That would appeal to nostalgia-addled GenX and Millennials, and the game is more ridiculous and fun, but it's still football, and you don't have to know as much technical detail to play it. I'm not a Dem consultant who gets overpaid to be a clueless dumbass, sadly.

They could've at least discussed concussion in NFL, but they didn't. They could've discussed EA's union busting practice and horrible working conditions, but they didn't.

If the Dems made either of these a campaign theme this would be a 50-state wave election, I won't go so far as to predict which direction

it ends 0-0

damn they put up as many points as they scored with voters?

Are they playing an old version? I thought buffalo bills moved to LA with the chargers

Or literally just play Amogus again.

Madden is probably the lamest shit they could have chosen.
