Twitch streamers could have a serious impact on the election—even by sitting it out.
The left’s favorite political Twitch streamer, Hasan Piker, doesn’t know if he’s voting for President Joe Biden and doesn’t care if you do either. Nearly every day, Piker streams on Twitch for around eight hours to his more than 2.6 million followers on the platform. He’s not a household name by any means, but he’s become one of the most influential political commentators for Gen-Z and young millennial audiences online over the past four years.

One thing he definitely backs is voting uncommitted. “I'm an advocate of full-blown pressure,” he said.
