See your problem is that you're assuming there's some reasonable premise that they're starting with.The paying people to just attend meetings is so scummy to me. Basically a bunch of pals Wu ingratiated themselves with to join the scene and then find some backdoors way to get them paid because they are such failsons of streamers. Like what political ideology is Happening by paying these streamers to go to meetings? It makes sense they pay for canvassing but wtf is a 50 viewer average streamer going to do other than preach to their braindead audience about some niche issue that no body except terminally online trannies do.
Their conception of politics is basically you (being awesome) say awesome things and then democracy happens. So of course if you get more awesome people together to say more awesome things more democracy is going to happen.
I think I made a longer post sometime ago explaining why "canvassing" the audience of these streamers is worse than noise and no one in their right mind would pay for any of the data. No guarantees that it made sense though. But it does remind me of another of their premises regarding politics, they think everything is national. John pretty much literally believed he could run for Congress without having to be in the district or know anything about it, just tweeting as he always has and flying to California to meet the people he always does. So they think something like Destiny and John discussing Palestine in front of a bunch of idiots who know even less than they do will somehow have some actual political impact. By raising the conservation of issues or some stupid thing that doesn't make any sense.
