The media has been doing its best to help the Harris-Walz campaign with its branding message. As David Harsanyi pointed out, the day Kamala Harris named Tim Walz as her running mate, the media decided to tell us how "folksy" he was. ABC, NPR, POLITICO, NBC, Bloomberg … even the BBC weighed in on Walz's "folksy demeanor."
After the Democrat elites forced Joe Biden out of the race, the Democrats and the media all adopted the message of "joy" that surrounded Harris' candidacy. Harris and Walz were joyful warriors putting forth a joyful message that was resonating with voters. The Democratic National Convention was powered by joy.
As if they didn't already have Harris HQ (formerly Biden-Harris HQ), the Harris campaign has set up another X account, this one called Team Kamala (which cable TV host was it who scolded us all for not referring to her as Vice President Harris?). Harris used her Kamala Harris account to invite fellow joyful warriors to follow her.
Welcome, joyful warriors. https://t.co/Yfhf5qrQQt

Yeah I think running solely on JOY! has limits.

They just need to keep the "joy" narrative going for another two months and avoid talking about policy.
How very reminiscent of Nazi Germany of you. pic.twitter.com/GrBncPY155

Joyful warriors are the most hateful people on X

As if that weren't cringeworthy enough, the Democrats are inviting all hotties to follow:
There’s a new place for hotties to get their Harris content—go follow @TeamKamala! https://t.co/JFyIUymQEl

We don’t think hotties means what you think it means

Got to keep starting new accounts because the old ones keep getting ratio’d so hard.

"Hotties?"

You don't have any hotties.

You can cut the joy with a knife up in here it’s so thick.

Harris certainly does have some hotties endorsing her, like Liz Cheney, Randi Weingarten, and Mary Trump.
