I want Walz under a real stress test. Set this man up on a ranked league of legends match and in a discord group with his team of randos.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's straight up evil and will result in a shit load of insults against him.

Madden though?...
It's probably the game that has the most disaffected centrists playing it.

Which year? Because the extremely subtle differences between versions make all the difference
94 on the Genesis
Yeah, it's not my cup of tea either but there's a huge playerbase of guys who play the hell out of it. Pretty much the demographic they want to target. As much as I'd love to see them play something like Elden Ring or POE, I think that might miss their target lol.
So they are both maddening?

Thank you, I will be here all week
I respect the joke, but I simultaneously also respect whoever downvoted the comment nearly instantly :)
So gimmicky. AOC is listening to DNC strategy morons way too much. This makes the party look even more out of touch, not more relatable. Same with the "X has a beer with "Y" articles. This is all Joe Biden/centrist reacharound logic.

Nah how about fuck off. 😊
I don’t want politicians on twitch or any where near games. Yall are toxic enough as it is. Leave my hobby alone. The one place I can go to escape your bullshit.
It's pretty suspect that these totally understandable comments are getting obliterated with downvotes. Keeping American politics out of video games is a reasonable ask.
So just don't watch then? It's incredibly easy to just not participate.
Even easier than going on the internet to complain about it, in fact.

Ugh, sportsball? That's not gonna get gamers. That's gonna get dudebros that would have bullied nerds in the 1980s but now play competitive BS video games.
Aren't the dudebros in the biggest group of trump supporters? They should target them instead of preaching to the choir.
It’s still a video game.
It might be one of the lamer segments of the gaming market, since the games are basically the same each year, but with updated stats.
Personally, they should go retro with some short order(NES powerpad, basically a memory game, styled as a short order cook making giant burgers.), or maybe some n64 Mariocart. I bet Walz can hit all the RR shortcuts.
Is DDR old enough to be retro now? That could be fun, too.
John Madden
Wallz by 21
That's pretty rad.
Better be Madden ‘96
This is refreshingly wholesome for political news. No bullshit or partisan politics here, just people being human and enjoying some entertainment.
I'd give Walz the edge, but EA never made Madden for the Dreamcast. 🤣
Well that did it for me. I'm voting Harris!
