The Atlantic today endorsed a presidential candidate for the fifth time in its 150+ year history. The editorial made clear, however that four of those five times were a recommendation against voting for the other candidate:
- In 1860, they recommended voting for Abraham Lincoln.
(104 years of silence followed)
- In 1964, they recommended voting against Barry Goldwater
- In 2016, they recommended voting against DJT
- In 2020, they recommended voting against DJT
- In 2024, they are recommending voting against DJT
Here's to hoping they have another 100 year hiatus ahead.
