Now we'll never know who the Washington Post's editorial board would have endorsed. At least Taylor Swift was able to make her recommendation, so I know I'm all set.

  Taylor Swift is a billionaire from record and concert ticket sales alone. Between that and her endorsement of Harris, we're lucky to have one billionaire out there with legitimate wealth, unafraid to use it to effect positive change.

    She came from wealth, dude, her parents manufactured her success at a young age. Did you seriously listen to that music and think it was grassroots success from raw talent?

      What it is is highly marketable. There's no denying she has talent -- as a savvy businesswoman -- to crack the code of what her audience wants to hear so well she can churn out music that people will pay top dollar to see performed live.

  I'm pretty sure the poster you're replying to was being sarcastic. ;)

Actually we do, the reporting in WaPo itself said they had already put together the copy for Harris and were ready to run it. The newsroom basically did all they could to say it without saying it.

  The person you are replying to understands this and was being sarcastic. Everybody already knew who they wanted to endorse well before this came out.

    Sarcastically asked or not, the answer is sadly yes. That's why every dang US election comes down to some undecided voters in 10 states. But that's a societal issue that's only given lip service at most.

      It's just remnants of DEI for former slave holding states. Supposedly they are ideologically opposed to it, but as usual it turns out that only applies when convenient. Practically every conservative achieving office does so thanks to DEI giving huge advantages to rural areas over places where people actually live and business actually happens.
