    Okay but look at the young people. They went from bored to “oh my God, she’s talking about a thing I know!”

    Some people need this stupid shit as much as I hate it.

      Idk those are young people who already took the time to go to a Hillary Clinton rally. Maybe a few of them were inspired but the vast majority of young voters saw that as the pandering that it was.

        I’m just saying watch all their faces. Especially the bored looking ones. Right when she says “I don’t know who invented pokemon go…” They light up and look at each other and get excited. Not that they’re excited about Hilary.

        I definitely groaned. I remember her making a dumb fuck star wars reference at some point too that made me more angry than supportive. But you can’t make comments like “the vast majority of young voters saw it as pandering” as if that’s something verifiable. You just made it up hoping it’s true. I also hope it’s true. If they decided it’s pandering, it might have even been because their media told them so.

        I talk to too many people who use campaign ads during The Bachelor as their greatest source of information on candidates.

        FYI, The campaign coordinators also dropped a bunch of lures in the area and even chose the location because it’s a pokestop. Anyone who came hunting for Pokemon was met with volunteers holding voting registration sign ups.

      I can’t imagine being 20 years old and being anything close to enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton. I also have to wonder how many of them were caught up in the moment of “Oh, are we clapping now?! She said a thing about…pokemon? Weird, but everyone’s cheering and since I’m a Hilldog stan and going with the flow is pretty much my entire personality I’ll clap and cheer too!”
