Alternate (More accurate) Headline: Washington Post editorial writersâ endorsement of Kamala Harris stopped by CEO
âThe Washington Post will not be making an endorsement of a presidential candidate in this election,â wrote Will Lewis, The Postâs chief executive. âNor in any future presidential election. We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates.â
The Washington Postâs editorial writers had already drafted an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president, according to four people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive newsroom matters.
I was wondering how long Bezos would leave them to their devices. He's been far more cautious about revealing his politics but Amazon's frothing anti-union subterfuge speaks at least something for itself.
He's typically left WaPo alone, so I just wonder whether what's changed is that Bezos feels the writing is on the wall. Maybe sensing a Trump victory, like the hyper rational alien he is, he decided blocking a Harris endorsement is the right move to position himself best for the post-democracy, oligarchical and fascist America on the horizon.
He figures that if Trump wins, he will seek retribution, but if Harris wins, she will not seek retaliation at all. Which would you choose, if you had no morals and didn't mind casual fascism as long as you get to keep your insane wealth?
Our oligarchs are drooling over how much power they imagine gaining in a Trump presidency and will do everything they can to ensure the manipulible fascist wins so they can have the kleptocracy they have been dreaming of for years.
