The campaign for the presidency overflowed for months with dark ruminations about the furies to be unleashed should the other side win: World War III, another Great Depression and even the possible ascent of a dictator. Into this season of gloom, enters a onetime high school teacher, football coach and corn dog lover, who has introduced a revolutionary alternative — joy.
“Thank you for bringing back the joy,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said to Vice President Kamala Harris, as the two made their first appearance this week as the new Democratic ticket for the White House.
If he won his role as Harris’ No. 2 in part because of his unique framing of former President Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance as “weird,” Walz extended his meme-making role by bringing a decidedly lighter tone to the presidential race.
“All the things that make me mad about those other guys and all the things they do wrong, the one thing I will not forgive them for is they tried to steal the joy from this country,” said Walz, 60, at a Detroit rally Wednesday. “But you know what? ... Our next president brings the joy! She emanates the joy!”
The unexpected turn has delighted Democrats and infuriated Republicans. Democrats have seen fundraising surge and poll results tick upward since July 21, when President Biden gave up his bid for a second term and Harris stepped forward. The trend has continued since Tuesday, when she named Walz as her vice presidential pick.

Joy is the new buzzword.
I guess “Hope and Change” were taken.
Barf.
There’s only one kind of joy Kamala brings... wondered if she did that to him?
Joy means communism the left really believes that communism brings happiness
This is actually a clever move. As we all know, Harris is a giggling, cackling mess. How to explain that weird behavior? Call it “joy”.
It’s not joy, of course. But as a smokescreen, it’s better than nothing.
Apparently Harris is the “joyful” politician because of her inveterate habit of laughing her head off like a damned fool. The rest of us aren’t laughing as she and her ilk destroy the country with disastrous economic policies, anarchic borders and coddling of criminals and criminality.
They must have spent weeks on this rollout. Way too slick to have been put together overnight.
I don’t understand this business about joy. We are supposed to think that Kamala is full of joy, she’s happy, or what exactly?
And the implication then is that Trump and Vince are pissed off all the time? But the Democrats bring us joy and happiness?
Some of this political sloganeering just seems odd sometimes.
I’m not seeing the joy because among other things, Democrats have been trying to tell us ,that if Trump wins this election ,it’s going to be the end of Life as We Know It. We are told to be scared to death of Trump., we are told he will be a dictator and he will be like Hitler.
So how do they square that Circle as far as telling us there’s all this Joy but their whole campaign is based on scaring us to death about Trump?
Strength Through Joy. Oh, wait, that’s been used already.
Amid the gloom, doom and anger, can ‘joy’ win voters over?
—
Yes because low information voters love to celebrate when food prices go up. Rising inflation stats are cause for huge block parties, often mistaken for riots.
A faithful subunit of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate follows their masters orders and prints bs.
The “joy” will disappear very fast when the sheeple learn that they will get their azzes taxed off.
Back in 1968, they called Hubert Humphrey “the Happy Warrior.” He still lost.
The joy was getting another candidate after Biden revealed in the debate what a vegetable he is and the resulting poll plummet.
I think the joy drops off after people see her more and it’s reason she is in hiding when not on the stump trying to stimulate more joy.
It’s becoming very obvious.
The DNC convention will be a real puke fest for Trumpers.
Trump will steal their joy by fight fight fighting.
Cackling at people, no so much.
Uuugh! Mine eyes.
Don’t do that.
Her laughing is a delaying mechanism. Allows her to think of an appropriate answer/response. She is incapable of thinking extemporaneously.
In China, the Communist Party planners were desperate.
Their lackeys in The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate were falling apart.
“We must give them something like the ‘hope’ nonsense we gave Obama. Any ideas?”
“How about ‘Joy’?”
