As the clock ticks down to the election, the Biden-Harris campaign is clearly floundering like a fish out of water, and what better way to distract from impending doom than to livestream a video game match? Enter vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz and the self-proclaimed socialist, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who decided to showcase their gaming skills as their party’s chances of victory slip away faster than an NFL quarterback under pressure. When Rome was burning, Nero played the fiddle; Walz and AOC opted for an equally unproductive approach, engaging in a digital football game while the political landscape crumbles around them.
This spectacle unfolded as the two Democrats tried to woo young voters just days away from the crucial election, all while they peddled the same stale narrative about the importance of holding onto their slim majorities in Congress. They touted the dire need for a Harris win against Donald Trump, showcasing their priorities in the most juvenile manner possible. If their goal was to inspire confidence in their ability to lead, they undoubtedly missed the mark. Who among us feels reassured by watching politicians engage in a video game battle for likes rather than crafting policies for serious matters?

During their gaming session, Ocasio-Cortez made her feelings on Trump clear, claiming that stopping him remains her top priority. In a climate where voters are looking for sensible solutions to pressing issues, the Democrats seem to think that juvenile antics and empty rhetoric will do the trick. The irony of their campaign strategy—streaming video games while claiming to be serious contenders for the future of the country—is not lost on anyone paying attention. It highlights just how out of touch they are with the concerns of everyday Americans. Perhaps that’s why their campaign feels like a sinking ship in desperate need of a lifeboat.
Walz, in his attempt to be relatable, did not shy away from drumming up some controversial ideas, suggesting the abolishment of the filibuster. This advocacy for extreme measures, hinting at a desire to impose a far-left agenda without any checks and balances, paints a vivid picture of the havoc a Harris administration could bring. For those keeping track, this performance only reinforces why the American people should be cautious about what a Harris-Walz partnership would look like. The notion that AOC could take the Speaker of the House gavel under a Harris administration sends chills down the spine of anyone who values traditional governance.
As the election approaches, it becomes painfully clear that the Harris-Walz ticket is not only disorganized but increasingly desperate. With alarming whispers from political analysts declaring a “code red” for the campaign in critical states, it’s evident that these two are out of their league. Their choice of antics—akin to a high school talent show rather than a serious political campaign—does nothing to instill confidence. If the future of the country is resting on the shoulders of this duo, it’s hard not to think times could get quite a bit messier. The prospect of Tim Walz and Kamala Harris leading the charge, with AOC looking to move up in the ranks, raises eyebrows and leaves many wondering if America is ready for such radical progressivism.
