if we could bet here (bluesky devs absolutely do not create this feature) i’d put $50 down on the NYT op-ed board endorsing someone who isn’t running for the general election endorsement

feel free to come back and own me if i’m wrong, but that’s the direction that practically all of their coverage has been heading since the beginning of the year

No this is so cursed and so absolutely on the money as a prediction. They should just go whole hog and reprise that Time magazine mirror cover where the Person of the Year is all of us

It’ll probably be Leslie Knope or Jed Bartlett

They’ll endorse three governors, at least one of whom is a Republican

Oh, we're going to get the Youngkin-Newsom-Whitmer tri-endorsement.

oh man, the discourse around this would be insane. (or maybe everyone would just agree it’s stupid?)

it is exactly the kind of stupid discourse they’ve been deliberately trying to provoke all year

They’re going to put a mirror on their front page like Time did for person of the year. “For president, the times editorial board endorses…The American Citizen”

I would lean “cannot endorse anyone 😔” but I’m not emotionally attached to the idea enough to wager serious money. How about A Alcoholic Beverage To Be Redeemed If Ever Convenient?

Dual endorsement of Newsom / Swift

This is a joke. NYT would never endorse a Californian.

Haha just looked through their endorsements and I think this is true. They didn't endorse Reagan or Nixon.

I'm leaning toward an overwrought, 800-word explanation of why the NYT cannot endorse a candidate this election, heavily implying the candidates are equally bad and leaving it up to the reader to decide which type of bad is more palatable.

Not gonna happen. They will endorse Biden, if he’s still the candidate. And with a strong, full-page editorial.
