It doesn’t matter how old the news institution is, if they suddenly stop endorsing candidates this year, when the choice is between a fascist dictatorship or democracy, nothing they publish can be trusted.

@bigheadtales That's not the choice this year.

This year both parties put forward ridiculous candidates who are not worth voting for. And so these institutions are just pointing that out, refusing to endorse any candidate who is not worth endorsing.

If anything it makes them more trustworthy that they aren't bowing to either party.

The two parties, Democrats I'm looking at you, need to put forward candidates worth voting for. I'm sorry Harris is a steaming pile of crap. I'm sorry you nominated her without going through normal democratic processes.

The papers are merely responding to the bad decision that the party made. It's about holding them accountable.

Harris is an awful candidate. A good candidate would be running away with this election because Trump is also so bad. For some reason the Democratic party elite decided to put her in, and it is perfectly reasonable for papers to say they aren't going to rubber stamp that decision.

We need to call the Democratic Party out for screwing us over. This is part of that.
