Original: Ten years later, ‘Pokémon Go to the polls’ still haunts the internet
It has been a decade since the Hillary Clinton campaign told supporters to 'Pokémon Go to the polls' at the Democratic National Convention, a line delivered at the height of the game's 2016 craze. The phrase became an instant punchline and has endured as shorthand for awkward attempts by politicians to court young voters. Writers are revisiting the moment, noting how it still resurfaces online as a running joke about cringe-worthy campaign messaging.
Why now: The tenth anniversary of the 2016 DNC moment has prompted retrospective coverage and nostalgia-driven mockery online.
