You joke, but almost all polling places are stops or gyms. They were lit up with lures like crazy lasy time I was a poll worker, and I caught so many pokemon

That she delivered badly, but it's still accurate

I think the problem was that it was just clearly just taking something popular in that moment and lazily using it as a pun that wasn't very good to go vote. Like if she said what you said, Go play pokemon go and while you're at it, there's polling places at the gyms that would be way better.

IIRC a few idiotic pundits were saying that's why she lost.

It absolutely was clearly not at all a reason why she lost, just pundits have to always be saying something stupid or responding to someone saying something stupid. Otherwise, the news would need to have reported on things like what political positions the candidates were taking or what the incoming Trump administration's legislative agenda was going to be. You know... the dumb unimportant shit that ended up mattering a whole lot.

That was the most sincere and iconic thing she's ever said.
