I feel like if I'm going to condemn how some of the rich and powerful act like fools, I ought to also share when they do something positive. Like here -

Jan 6th should have been the nail in Trump's political coffin, and frankly every report of some billionaire contributing to him just makes them look bad.
So here's the opposite.
This also reminds me of the latest fuss about newspaper endorsements and here's the thing -
I have never changed my mind on who to vote for based on one of these, so perhaps it's true that a newspaper (like, oh, let's just say the Washington Post) shouldn't bother. However...
That's the sort of argument that should be made in a normal election year. Or even at the very beginning of the campaign, and clearly and publicly saying there won't be one.
Saying so now? Just days before election day?
Rank cowardice at best, another thumb on the scale for Trump at worst.
Yeah, those newspapers deserve all the grief they're getting for that decision.
If you're worried about Trump and his petty vindictive ness, now is the time to speak out.
After all, the consequences will be worse if he somehow manages to pull this off (I still don't see how he's got the support, despite the polling).
Oh, and even if he fails you know he and his people are yet again going to claim the election was stolen. Showing Kamala truly does have support makes it more difficult to convince people that she didn't.
