Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez addresses GameStop stocks drama live on Twitch \u2013 how to watch Twitter, @AOC \/ TwitchNew York congressional representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also known as AOC, is turning to Twitch to address the recent unfolding situation with GameStop\u2019s $GME stocks, Reddit\u2019s retail investors, and the response by apps like Robinhood. As Twitch continues to gain popularity, so does its stature amongst people outside of the gaming industry. Notably, politicians like AOC and Minnesota\u2019s Ilhan Omar made waves in 2020 when they promoted voter turnout with a massively successful Among Us stream alongside some of Twitch\u2019s biggest streamers. Further, Hasan \u2018HasanAbi\u2019 Piker became the most-watched Twitch streamer in November as the political commentator delved into the U.S. presidential election. In light of that emerging political discourse on the platform, it should be no surprise that AOC is turning to Twitch, once again, to discuss the recent GameStop stocks drama. In the past week or so, $GME has skyrocketed (alongside AMC Theatres\u2019 $AMC and Nokia\u2019s $NOK) thanks to retail investors spurred by TikTok and, most prominently, Reddit\u2019s r\/wallstreetbets. Now, trading has been halted by apps like Robinhood and Webull \u2014 prompting AOC to schedule a \u201cfireside chat\u201d stream on Twitch to discuss the situation. I\u2019ll be hopping on Twitch at 8:30pm tonight to discuss today\u2019s developments with GameStop and retail trading. \ud83d\udc7e Might have a guest or two join \u2013 we\u2019ll see.
