Dear Mr. Bezos:
We don't believe you. At all.
We don't think this is about encouraging news neutrality or building trust or fighting disinformation or competing against indie media.
You know why?
Because you did it 11 days before the election, after your editorial board came to a conclusion and drafted an endorsement, after your senior brass gave a green light internally.
If this were somehow about principle, you could have nixed the endorsement before the general election began.
Hell, you could have done it the day Pres. Biden stepped aside as an understandable moment for a reset.
But you didn't.
You claim major newspaper endorsements largely don't matter in a presidential election.
And honestly, I'm inclined to somewhat agree. I think their influence is overrated.
Unless it's an outlet endorsing their perceived ideological opposite (ex: NYT or WaPo for Trump, WSJ or New York Post for Harris), it doesn't matter a whole lot.
Although it's quite curious you claim to believe WaPo's presidential endorsements are too impotent to matter in elections, yet too powerful over public attitudes to be allowed to continue.
That doesn't make sense.
But it's also missing the point.
People aren't angry at you because we think Harris will somehow lose based on WaPo not endorsing her.
We're furious because you, one of the richest people in the world, bought one of the leading newspapers in our country--a storied bulwark against censorship and corrupt governing--and abused that power to kill the autonomy of the staff of that newspaper.
You have subverted the free press right before a presidential election in which one of the candidates is aggressively totalitarian in outlook, and you now pretend to be surprised at the shock and outrage.
We do not trust you.
We now find it very difficult to trust your newspaper despite the many excellent journalists who work there.
And we believe you either ultimately care only about your own greed OR you are dangerously incompetent regarding the importance of a free press.
Maybe both.
In any case, there's no way in hell I'm paying for The Washington Post while you still own it.
This is the easiest and most impactful voter contact tool we’ve ever run! You just talk to 10 low-propensity Dem neighbors near you to make sure they vote. If you haven’t done any GOTV yet, this is your sign - give it a shot. https://t.co/jxVMoZHbui
🧵In 2020, Derrick Van Orden ran for Congress. After he lost, he went to Stop the Steal in DC—and was on Capitol grounds during the insurrection.
In 2022, he ran again. He won.
Now, he's running for reelection. If he wins, he'll be *inside* the Capitol on Jan 6, 2025.
Unless—
There should be a mystical TV series in which the ghosts of Young Sylvia Plath and Young Joan Didion—circa their Mademoiselle Guest Editor stints in NY—haunt a young Influencer who has set up shop at The Barbizon
If Dems found half as much energy to attack MAGA, the real threat, then we’d be good.
For all the geniuses out there who think someone else would be better,
1) explain to me who it is,
2) how they get on the ballot in all 50 states,
3) how they get the money and apparatus together to get this done in 4 months (the over 100 million Biden has on hand doesn’t transfer)
4) how we explain that a random person has been selected… subverting the votes that were casts, because of bad polls.
Dems spend all their time seeking perfection, while Republicans focus on their disastrous agenda & could care less so long as they rig the system in their favor!
USE YOUR ENERGY ADDRESSING PROJECT 2025 & the fact that this Supreme Court has laid the foundation to finalize the full destruction of our democracy!
