Overview

AOC's Among Us Twitch Stream refers to a Get Out The Vote event organized by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) in which she, fellow congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and several popular streamers and YouTubers played Among Us on Twitch. The stream became one of the most-watched Twitch streams in the site's history, peaking at roughly 435,000 streams.

Background

On October 19th, 2020, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted that she was looking for people interested in streaming Among Us with her on Twitch to get out the vote.[1] Her tweet gained over 28,000 retweets and 392,000 likes.


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC 2 US House candidate, NY-14 Anyone want to play Among Us with me on Twitch to get out the vote? (I've never played but it looks like a lot of fun) 3:44 PM · Oct 19, 2020 · Twitter for iPhone >

After her call to action, multiple popular YouTubers, including Pokimane, hbomberguy, Disguised Toast, JackSepticEye, DrLupo, HasanAbi, and congresswoman Ilhan Omar voiced their interest in joining the stream.

Developments

The Among Us stream commenced on October 20th, 2020 (full stream shown below). Throughout the stream, popular streamers and YouTubers joined the game.



On AOC's channel alone, the stream peaked at around 435,000 viewers, making it the third most-watched stream in Twitch history.[2] Throughout the stream, the players involved were tweeting their reactions, particularly when they had to kill AOC or AOC killed them. Notable moments include when hbomberguy killed AOC and she recalled when she appeared on his Donkey Kong 64 100% Stream (shown below, top) and when AOC killed Pokimane (shown below, bottom).





The stream led to multiple jokes on Twitter parodying the content of the stream and the bizarreness of a politician streaming a video game on Twitch. User @Fobwashed posted a Roundabout meme of the moment hbomberguy killed AOC, gaining over 4,600 retweets and 22,000 likes (shown below, top). User @TECHN0PAIN tweeted an AOC fancam which was viewed over 1 million times on Twitter (shown below, bottom).

God this comment section is priceless. So let me get this straight.

A 31-year-old congresswomen who in 1 day set up a stream with over 420k viewers on Twitch, plays with Cr1tikal, Pokimane, and more top streamers, all for a Get Out the Vote event is somehow:
1) unpopular and failing at a desperate "how do you do, fellow kids?" plea
2) only a record because gaming media “propped it up for days”
3) concerning because a “political figure is inserting herself into an entertainment space”

Meanwhile, the president is 74, only reaches above 50% approval rating in age 50+ , is given endless free media coverage, and is literally a former reality TV show host.

MFW I try to calculate these mental gymnastics
