I get what they were going for considering I've known certain people who have been so addicted to specific games that they've ruined their lives but I don't think Walz is in that crowd. He's still married, looks like he's a great father who's involved with his kids and is a more responsible and active politician than 90% of those in politics.
It's such a poor jab. Besides gaming being this mainstream hobby that everyone partakes of these days, there's also the fact that even if he was irresponsible, the youngest two of the voting generations would vibe with it. I know people who overspend their money or ignore reality entirely because they feel helpless. It's a symptom of a problem.
Poor guy couldn't stop gaming. Ruined his life. Ended up becoming a governor, and soon to be VP. CANCEL SEGA.
In a different universe:
'Timmy, you need to keep playing if you want a chance in government!'
'But mom I don't wanna! Can't I just do a few more pages of homework?'
'Young man you will pick up that controller and beat that boss or no dinner for you, please consider your future!!'
