The brutally paranoid multiplayer game Among Us has grown rapidly in popularity during the later stages of quarantine — and now even AOC is getting in on t🔜he trend.
On October 19, 2020, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez :
Anyone 🍃want to play Among Us with me on Twitch to get out the vote? (I’ve never play♌ed but it looks like a lot of fun)
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC)
Among Us is a 4 to 10 player game in which characters must identify and vote out an imposter before they're able to kill them all. What more appropriate game to play during election season? Though it was initially released to little fanfare in 2018, it's seen a tremendous increase in play (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and quite a few updates) in recent months. A 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:series of festive costumes and surprisingly co🐽mplex social interactions contribute to the otherwise simple game's c🐻harm.
The results of AOC's tweet were predictably enthusiastic, as gamers clamored to find out more ab🐭out the young politician’s future gaming docket. She followed up by asking, “Who would you like to ?” Names floated included many popular Twitch streamers, YouTubers, and even politicians such as Sen𓃲ator Bernie Sanders. And, of course, many were quick to remark — “Orange seems sus.”
Direct replies included the 🃏likes of actress and geek ꦇicon Felicia Day:
Yes yes ⛄yes would love it! I’m totally on board to make this happen!

And th🍎e incredibly popular streamer and web personality Pokimane:
it’d be an honor 😭🙏🏻

To which AOC excitedly replied:
Let’s do it! I’ll set up and account and get some streaming e🧔quipm🌃ent today

AOC is no stranger to ♕the gaming community. ꩲBack in 2019, she famously dropped in on a Donkey Kong 64 stream by H.Bomberguy, in support of the charity Mermaids. Not only did she tweet a link to that stream, but she also revealed that she thought the N64 was♌ “.” Later that year, she revealed her fondn🔯ess for League of Legends, .
If AOC does follow through with her Among Us stream, it’s going to be part of the lead-up to the upcoming election — and will likely include a number of either political or gaming figures. Whether it will be a ꦰtype of fundraiser or just a general awareness campaign for voting is unknown.
Until then, fꦓans of the game can still enjoy a little taste of the democratic process with their friends (and frenemies).
