No, he's fucking terrified of lina khan. He won't endorse trump and poke the bear and he won't endorse harris because he's embittered.
He's a cowardly monopolist.

Maybe Lina Khan is part of the story, but it's silly to act like there aren't more straightforwards reasons.
- janalsncm 2y agoThat doesn’t make sense to me. Lina Khan already doesn’t like Amazon, she cut her teeth at Yale calling them out for antitrust. How is not endorsing Kamala Harris going to smooth that over? And it’s WaPo, which is entirely separate from Amazon as far as antitrust is concerned. Even within the internal logic of the equivalency between Donald Trump and Lena Khan it doesn’t make sense. It’s pretty clear he is afraid of Trump.
