The New York Times Editorial Board released its official endorsement for the Dem nomination, and it went with...2 ppl? Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren. This seems like a cop-out #nytimesendorsement nytimes.com/2020/01/19/us/…
“There will be those dissatisfied that this page is not throwing its weight behind a single candidate, favoring centrists or progressives...it’s a fight...that should be played out in the public arena and in the privacy of the voting booth." #nytimesendorsement
The NYTimes Editorial Board plays a role in framing the very public debate it seems to be avoiding. By endorsing 2 candidates-1 moderate & 1 progressive it feels like an abdication of its responsibility. I'd rather see no endorsement than a two-way split. #nytimesendorsement Image

This New York Times endorsement of Warren and Klobuchar is valid.

Elizabeth Warren is easily the the best-qualified progressive running.

Amy Klobuchar is arguably the best-qualified moderate running.

If the nominee is a progressive, it'll be Warren (two liberals hate Bernie for every one liberal who loves him)

If the nominee is a moderate, it'll probably be Biden, not Klobuchar (look at polls)

But endorsements are supposed to be about who should win, not who's going to win.
Of course the Bernie cult will now insist that the New York Times has become part of an establishment conspiracy against progressives, even though it just endorsed Warren, a progressive.

But facts never do matter to fanatics.
