Bernie Sanders launches Twitch channel

[George II]

Bernie Sanders has launched a channel on Twitch, becoming one of the first presidential candidates to have a presence on the video game streaming service. The channel, which launched Tuesday, comes just before the Vermont senator and Democratic candidate for the White House joins the 2020 election cycle's first Democratic presidential debate, which takes place Wednesday and Thursday.

The channel hasn't posted any videos yet, but according to Recode, the Sanders campaign is planning a series of Bernie Live videos on Twitch, Facebook and YouTube in which the candidate and his staff will discuss news of the day and provide campaign updates. The channel already has 1,720 followers but is following just one account: The Washington Post's.

Sanders isn't the first candidate on Twitch; fellow Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang launched a Twitch channel in July 2018.

Twitch, which Amazon purchased for $970 million in 2014, has 15 million daily users watching videos produced by 2.2 million broadcasters.

Does it mean he is a Corporate Democrat now? Advertising is so bourgeois.

3. Ironic that it is owned by Amazon.

What's not ironic is how he is now desperately trying to hold his base. I thought at this point in time he would be doing nothing but working to expand his base. Instead, he is floundering and doing everything he can to hold the outsiders to his cause. I doubt you will see one person shocked that he is now worried about losing the incels. They were his bread and butter in 16.

4. The hypocrisy of using Amazon isn't as onerous

as a very transparent attempt at bribing college age voters with a tuition debt relief bill, giving them false hope to get their votes.

Any seasoned and mature person knows that that bill has no chance of even getting out of a house committee let alone the senate.

I hope the college age voters are educated by other candidates about the evil plot to garner their votes and then leaving them in false despair after Senator BS loses. Then they get angry and vote against the Democratic nominee who defeated Senator BS.

Either way, David Sirota and his alternative candidate, Jill Stein, win.
