Voting: The Long View

Source: The Dispatch
by Jonah Goldberg

“Contrary to what some newspaper owners think, this is the time for endorsements. Look elsewhere if that’s what you came here for. Instead, I’ll just focus on how I personally think about the election, starting with my vote. I’m not going to vote for either of them. But that doesn’t mean I’m neutral about the outcome of the election. If I lived in a swing state rather than District of Columbia, I might vote for Kamala Harris. I certainly wouldn’t vote for Donald Trump. But, given that Harris will carry D.C. by at least 30 points, the ‘it’s a binary choice!’ harangues leave me cold. … I will write in some normal decent Republican — Paul Ryan, Ben Sasse, I’m taking suggestions — because I want to send the signal that I was a gettable vote for a sane Republican Party.” (10/30/24)
