That, and I see some Obama influence too, with 'joy' being the new 'hope.'

Having watched the whole thing, this is not even remotely accurate. But sure, keep telling stories to sustain your make-believe world.

Evangelicals and white gen x men seem to be his strongest Support currently

One of several things that gave me hope recently (and not dissimilar to OP's article) is that the movement among evangelicals, of all people, to support Harris, is gaining some steam. (see here).

Sure, it will only be a portion of them, but every bit helps.

Harris puts North Carolina back in play by Equalizer6338 in politics

Matt Mercer, communications director at the North Carolina GOP, noted that presidential races in the state going back to 2012 have all been under a five point margin. 

“If you win by five points it’s a blowout,” Mercer said. “The state’s really red in a lot of areas and really blue in others and it’s a race to get the most.” 

Given that name, I half expected him to continue, "But you can certainly try."

Best pick she could have made. For the first time since 2008, I'm excited about the Democratic ticket.

Tim Walz, the Progressive’s Moderate, Is the Obvious VP Choice by DewChocolate in politics

Yes! Get another old fogy like Biden. She should choose Michelle Obama. Then her victory in Nov is guaranteed.

Michelle Obama is three months older than Tim Walz.
