Feel this has to be because Bezos thinks Trump has a decent shot at winning and doesn't want to be in his bad side.
I think it's funny to imagine a real person who would have been swayed by a WaPo endorsement.
I look forward to all the libs boycotting amazon. It should be very impressive.
if it weren't for the absolutely zealous support of genocide I'd almost be tempted to voot bloo just on the off chance some of this antitrust shit goes through
Except I don't live in a swing state so my vote means precisely diddly
Similar happenings at the Los Angeles Times, as the article mentions:
The announcement came days after Mariel Garza, the head of The Los Angeles Times’s editorial board, resigned in protest after that paper’s owner Patrick Soon-Shiong decided against running a presidential endorsement.
Soon-Shiong is a pharmaceuticals billionaire.
Patrick Soon-Shiong is a South African and American businessman
Sir, another South African has struck the journalism industry.
lol I remember libs saying Bezos had no influence over what WP publishes
so he was okay with endorsing Hillary and Biden but not Kamala? hmmm
My paranoia says that this is a deliberate "leak" to show Kamala is the enemy of the barons, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so this is actually intended to mobilize voters for Kamala
Victor Manuel Rocha, a US diplomat who spied for Cuba, pulled a similar maneuver
Rocha's off-the-cuff remark weeks before the 2002 Bolivian general election threatening to cut American aid to Bolivia over Evo Morales's support for the coca-growers movement has been credited with boosting Morales's Movement for Socialism party in the 2002 Bolivian general election — after that, Morales called Rocha his best "campaign manager"
Shoutout to Manuel Rocha
She's only giving a 2 billion tax cut to the rich to Trump's 3 billion.
