The 31-year-old’s expressions and dialogues went viral from the stream and people started posting their own versions. AOC herself admitted that she “had a blast” during the game.
Before streaming on Tuesday night (local time), AOC had taken to Twitter to ask if anyone among her followers for willing to play the game “to get out the vote” on October 19. She had also confessed that it was the first time ever she was going to play the game but said, “it looks like a lot of fun”. However, being her maiden game, several internet users lauded her skills and many even said that as an ‘imposter’ she “killed it”. In the game, ‘Among Us’, the imposter has to kill the crewmates while they try to identify the murderer.

From saying they "love" Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to predicting that she would become a US President "one day", internet users were seen impressed by the Democratic Congresswoman who similar to other members of her party are diligently seeking the election of Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris on November 3. One of the internet users even noted that more than half a million people were tuned in to watch AOC play 'Among Us' meaning, she is virtually hosting the "biggest rally" of 2020. This post was retweeted by AOC herself. Here are some responses:
Meanwhile, another Democratic woman who has been receiving love from internet users is California Senator and Vice Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris. She broke into a little dance in the rain and the Twitter users can not keep calm. From calling it the “best thing on the internet” to saying that’s “what a boss looks like”, the short clip showing Harris grooving while holding an umbrella has taken the internet by storm. Saying “rain or shine”, democracy doesn’t wait for anyone, the California Senator was captured thoroughly enjoying while light dancing in front of the voters in Florida on October 20.
