The original article is below:
If you pay any attention to politics at all, then you probably know Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is currently serving as representative for New York's 14th Congressional District.
You might be somewhat less aware of Among Us, a really fun multiplayer game in which you either play as an astronaut fixing up your ship...or you play as an impostor who ~looks~ like an astronaut but aims to murder all of the crewmates without getting caught.
The game is a blast to play with friends, because if you're the impostor, you get to lie to their faces as you try to trick them into thinking you're one of them.

Check out this video from streamer Disguised Toast for an example of how the game goes.
What do these two have to do with each other, you ask? Well, it seems that AOC wants to stream Among Us to help get people registered and engaged in voting this year.
Anyone want to play Among Us with me on Twitch to get out the vote? (I’ve never played but it looks like a lot of fun)
She floated the idea and asked who among the many respondents she should team up with for a game, and the replies are a real who's-who of Twitch streamers.
Who would you want to watch in a game together? ⬇️
It looks like popular streamer Pokimane is the frontrunner, as AOC has already responded to her.
@pokimanelol Let’s do it! I’ll set up and account and get some streaming equipment today
Other people throwing their hats in the ring include YouTuber Keemstar...
@AOC You kinda Sus ngl
...baseball player Hunter Pence...
@AOC @AOC I would love to play with you!! It’s so fun
...YouTuber James Charles...
@AOC YES
...the aforementioned Disguised Toast...
@AOC yes, im really good at getting people to vote impostors and sometimes crewmembers out
...and fellow US Rep. Ilhan Omar!
@AOC 👋🏽
AOC now has her Twitch channel set up, so it looks like this might be happening very soon!
Getting set up! https://t.co/7WswCzWaWZ
Personally, I can't wait to see this happen, and I very much hope AOC starts calling people "sus" right off the bat.
Also, I highly recommend downloading Among Us and trying it out yourself! Oh, and you can register to vote and make a voting plan here.
