Just did. Appalling. Will they care? Who will this hurt? Certainly not Bezo’s. We are screwed. The nation and world is about to be run by 3 tyrannical (read between the lines) men.

TMT?

Has WaPo ever endorsed a republican for president in its entire history?

Sure. They can decide to stop endorsing candidates. But choosing to stop at this particular point in time rather than a year ago or a year later? Tells me Bezos is worries about retaliation from Trumpy Trump. Coward.

Eff him. I canceled my subscription.

Agree with this. Making the decision/ announcement 10 days before the election is even more of a political statement than an endorsement. And a clear message that Jeff Bezos is afraid of Donald Trump. I’m honestly shocked by what an open sycophant he is.

DH and I discussed doing so but the fact is, we are probably in the top 5% of Amazon customers, so unless we break that habit first, there’s really no point in cancelling the Post.

Weird logic. Hurt their bottom line where you can.

Huh,

Soros is the single largest donor to liberal Democratic politicians and their policy agendas.

It’s just registering a protest. I canceled my post subscription, which I haven’t done in 20 years. Honestly I’ll probably reinstate it when the dust settles. Obviously it has no impact on anyone’s bottom line. It’s just about waiving the flag. For the newsroom, ironically, in this case, so I actually don’t want to hurt their bottom line at all.

On the flip side, if WaPo can start reporting things objectively, I might actually subscribe.

But sticking with WSJ for now.

Agree. Cancel Amazon because Bezos is the problem. I might also cancel my Pist subscription but not sure yet.

I canceled mine as did a lot of friends.

Trump is collecting billionaires and making them offers of positions and huge tax cuts - Musk, Adelson, Shanahan…

So why don’t you break your Amazon habit? I did, and it feels pretty good.

Yes we cancelled our post subscription and Amazon yesterday.

Sure. But a new policy should go in effect after the election, obviously.

Would be brilliant if someone leaked the endorsement as it was already written.
