Opinion section adhere to basic journalistic standards 2024 challenge
Lmao they just changed the title of the piece from “Why I don’t vote” to “Why I won’t vote” rather than tell readers that the guy actually does vote

Ah yes. Matthew Walter, theocracy propagandist, would like people to step down and be quiet so his preferred church can run our lives as he wishes. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lam...

The New York Times will stoop even lower tomorrow. Their new motto: "All the garbage that isn't fit to be printed" (we happily print). Soon, The National Enquirer will be a more trusted source.

I didn't know Matthew Walther until today but what I've learned is that he's stupid piece of shit that should be laughed at in public.

I cited this just yesterday but what the hell it's freedom fries day:

I want some horrible illness to befall this piece of garbage and for him to suffer from it for a very long time.

And then you could send a note that says, "Where I live, no one cares about your horrible illness. XO"

Sadly his current horrible illness, aka brain rot + moral vacuity, is rarely debilitating (beyond possibly having very few friends).

I haven't come across this guy before but he really is a copper-bottomed ocean-going jerk.

For when you want your Douthat with a higher concentration of smugness.

somebody do one of those weird generative AI image sequences where you keep on telling it to make an image MORE DOUTHAT

That seems to be the common reaction to this dopey article. Looks like Walther is about to learn that there really is such a thing as bad publicity.

Oh so his whole brand is “what if laziness were right?” Crazy how much better the world would be without that genre.

Matthew Walther, the somehow-even-less-thinking man's Ross Douthat. The pretentious theocratic twit you call on when Patrick Deneen is busy. Then again, I genuinely do hope he convinces everyone who agrees with him not to vote.

Incredible to somehow be a dumber tradcath slob than Douthat, but he does it

He's like Peg Obry but without the psychosexual torment.

NYT… dumpster fire these days

Because A.G. Sulzberger considers torching the country a fair price to pay to hold a grudge against Biden for not kowtowing to the New York Times.

Because the Onion is no longer funny.

My local elections are decided by margins of 40 voters. When we started organizing regressive candidates were winning by 150-200 votes: right now we sometimes win, sometimes lose. I’ve been to birthday parties big enough to swing an election. Is it worth showing up to a friend’s birthday?

That guy wouldn't know because he doesn't have friends.

Voting is an American tradition. Many died or lost their livelihoods in pursuing that right. Voting is not only a privilege but also a duty and responsibility as an American citizen.

People who do not vote disgust me.

Although I unsubscribed much earlier, I finally deleted the NYT app and blocked their social media accounts. I think we are past the tipping point where the benefits from reading the NYT's journalistic content do not outweigh the psychic and moral costs of reading their ridiculous opinion pieces

I was there like 10-15 years ago. This is the same fucking trash that they pull every election.

Wonder why he didn’t run this in the national review

Right. I fully support his right to publish this tripe in all the OTHER publications he writes for.
Avatar
The reason newsrooms around the nation are collapsing is obviously because they're run by nepo baby boneheads like this. Jesus CHRIST how did this guy get all these platforms and accolades? He's got the brain of a newt.

What the absolute fuck is wrong with the New York Times? I would much rather someone vote than not vote.
