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.

I'm a bit late with the comment, but this post gave me a big smile! :)
Also, it's such a relief to read the empathy that Biden puts into his tweets (or someone for him, but I know he showed to be empathic for real in the past). You know it, there have been 4 years of constant disinformation, hatred, and bullying against the minorities and the weakest. 4 years of total madness, with the United States of America under a shameless, narcissist, delusional sociopath with fascist tendencies, his insane ego, hypocrisies, lies, and the abominable "alt-right". Trump is a shame to the US: with his absurdities, he made America the laughing stock to the entire world. And with the damage, sufferings and deaths he caused he also put America under a bad light.
But now you are getting rid of the White House Circus. Maybe it will take a while to fix the mess, the alt-right will try to accuse Biden of the consequences of Trump's "administration", don't fall for that BS.
However you are going to have a president who is a good person, someone with empathy, who cares for other people. And that's wonderful.
Many citizen from other countries are happy for you too, here in Europe and elsewhere.
