AOC has started a Twitch channel to play Among Us and 'get out the vote'

I imagine the first few will have to be very heavily moderated. After that? I think you may be surprised.

A very popular Magic: The Gathering streamer and the best cube player of all time by a huge margin (Talking leader board #1 6 seasons out of 7 and won every in person major he's ever attended...) is an outspoken state assembly member who does nothing but argue politics with twitch chat while playing.

From this you'd think it would be toxic af but NO! It's the exact opposite! Dude doesn't dismiss anyone; he'll have a 45 minute conversation with a dude that adamantly disagrees with him popping facts and numbers out of his head like rainman and giving really personal heart-felt anecdotes explaining where his position comes from.

Nearly every "troll" ends up respecting the hell out of him and either chilling out or quietly scurrying away after receiving the nicest, most polite verbal smack-down of their lives.
