big thanks to Gmail for dumping my new Guardian subscriptions into my promotions inbox for some reason 🙃
good to know the US isn't the only country punishing politicians for the decisions of capitalists and basically voting for "I hate everything, burn it all down"
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO REFRESHING TO SEE IN MY INBOX, UNABASHED JOURNALISM HOW I MISSED YOU
as a progressive: no. if you are a progressive with any brain cells, you know it's a long slog, and you know standing still is better than tumbling backwards. I am not going to start cheerleading for the Cheneys but either they bring no votes with them, in which case progressives need to turn out for Harris, or they bring some votes with them, in which case progressives NEED TO TURN OUT FOR HARRIS. there is 0 reason for progressive to feel "alienated" or not vote for Harris.
eat a dick, bezos, we see right through you
also journalism SHOULD be biased, TOWARDS THE TRUTH. towards INTEGRITY. I do not want a fourth estate that regards lying dictators and sincere public servants with the same indifference.
What he's also too much of a dick to see is that newspaper's are given credence with endorsements because they have their ear to the ground and are supposed to use their deep knowledge of candidates to help guide their readers.
Also, I think endorsements are as much statements of being good civic partners as the fourth estate as they are endorsements.
It's about putting their values as a free press and their readership first.
He's failed spectacularly here and should sell WAPO.
