Opinion | ‘Joy’ Is Working for Harris, but Can It Close the Deal? - The New York Times

By Charles M. Blow

It must be awesome to be a NYT columnist. You brain shart out any old shitpost every couple weeks to build your brand, go on MSNBC to build your brand, appear in other media (podcasts?) to build your brand, write a book to capitalize on your brand. Repeat.

The entire article reads like it was published as an unfunny but on point satire by The Onion. How can this shit be real in the time of a US-sponsored genocide?...

The campaign doesn’t need a post-joy strategy, but it definitely needs an in-addition-to-joy strategy.

If I was was born 100s of years in the future - I wouldn't and couldn't understand this era or believe it actually happened. I know that because right now I'm living through this and I still can't believe it.
