Love this Twitter thread from author Aisha Saeed on the day the press began calling the 2020 Presidential race. While many took to the streets to celebrate, her kids (like a lot of others) took to their favorite virtual world to celebrate. As it happens, the Joe Biden has an official island HQ in Animal Crossing, so that's where they went. (There's also an official Biden-Harris HQ in Fortnite, though no word of impromptu celebrations there.) While it's too early to say if virtual world political headquarters will become more central to campaigns (as opposed to fun side gimmicks), my guess is the Minecraft/ROBLOX generation will embrace them as they reach voting age.
