Slide Content
In its November 2024 issue, “The Atlantic Magazine, for the fifth
time in its 167-year history, is endorsing a candidate for
president: Kamala Harris.”
The Atlantic Magazine was founded in 1857, on the eve of the
great Civil War, featuring leading writers, beginning with Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Oliver Wendell Homes, Longfellow, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, and many other leading thinkers
and writers in the following century and a half. In keeping with its
declaration on its original cover, the magazine is “devoted to
literature, art, and politics.”

The Atlantic Editors proclaim:
“Because one of the most personally
malignant and politically dangerous
candidates in American history was
on the ballot, The Atlantic endorsed
Trump’s previous Democratic
opponents: only the third and fourth
endorsements since the magazine’s
founding, in 1857.” “We endorsed
Abraham Lincoln for president in
1860, though not, for reasons lost to
history, in 1864.”

Early in 1864, Lincoln was doubtful whether he would
win reelection, even after the summer 1863 victories
at Gettysburg and Vicksburg. But after Sherman’s
invasion of Atlanta and his march to the sea, both
Union victory and Lincoln’s reelection seemed
certain.

“One hundred and four
years later, we endorsed
Lyndon B. Johnson for
president.” “The editors of
this magazine in 1964
feared Barry Goldwater less
for his positions than for his
zealotry and seeming lack
of self-restraint.”

Like Lincoln and the Radical Republicans, Lyndon
Johnson was at unique junction in time where
political logjams were freed by the rushing waters of
history. LBJ had the opportunity to drastically
improve the lots of millions of ordinary Americans
through the Civil Rights and Great Society programs.

The Atlantic Editors explain:
“In 2016, we endorsed
Hillary Clinton for more or
less the same reason
Johnson won this magazine’s
endorsement in 1964.
Clinton was a credible
candidate who would have
made a competent
president, but we endorsed
her because she was running
against a manifestly unstable
and incompetent Republican
nominee.”

Open in 2000, Flushing, New York. Where is Hillary?

“For the third time in eight years,
Americans have to decide whether
they want Donald Trump to be their
president. No voter could be ignorant
by now of who he is. Opinions about
Trump aren’t just hardened—they’re
dried out and exhausted. The man’s
character has been in our faces for so
long, blatant and unchanging, that it
kills the possibility of new thoughts,
which explains the strange mix of
boredom and dread in our politics.”

“Whenever Trump
senses any waning of
public attention, he’ll
call his opponent a
disgusting name, or
dishonor the memory of
fallen soldiers, or
threaten to overturn the
election if he loses, or
vow to rule like a
dictator if he wins. He
knows that nothing he
says is likely to change
anyone’s views.”

We want to push back on this assertion: Trump does want to
change your views, he wants to bring out the worst in you, he
lusts for you to fall victim to your deepest fears for his political
benefit, and so he does not have to spend the rest of his life, not
on the links golfing in Mar-O-Lago, but in jail. Many thought that
his assertion at the black journalist conference that Kamala had
only recently turned black was not calculated, but I think it was.
Unfortunately, Kamala could pass for white, and he wanted to
vividly remind his white MAGA voter base that she isas
irredeemably black as a burnt black pot.

We, and the folks at the Bulwark, who produced an
insanely funny, but true, video of a mock game show,
would like to add:
“Whenever Trump senses any waning of public
attention,” he will BLAME THE MIGRANTS! And
Trump was blaming migrants for all the ills that
America suffers in both the Biden and Harris
debates.

Can Trump Successfully Blame All
Problems on Migrants? How are
migrants responsible for:
•How difficult it is to find a job, since
all the jobs are going to migrants.
•The cost of housing, since migrants
are booked into all the good hotels.
•Precarious financial condition of
Medicare and Social Security
•Black unemployment, since migrants
are taking all the black jobs.
•Problems in schools, since migrant
children are occupying all the desks.

We know that Kamala Harris won the debate, but did
Trump lose the debate? We won’t really know until
voting day in November. Trump said exactly what he
wanted to say, he shouted what he wanted us to
hear, and he repeated what got him elected in 2016.
Compare what he said when he announced his
candidacy when going down the escalator in Trump
Tower in 2015 to his infamous quote in the
Presidential Debate:

Trump, 2015: "When Mexico sends its
people, they're not sending their best ...
They're sending people that have lots of
problems, and they're bringing those
problems with them. They're bringing drugs.
They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And
some, I assume, are good people.“
Trump, 2024: “In Springfield, (the Haitians)
are eating the DAWGS. The people that
came in. They're eating the cats. They're
eating the pets of the people that live there.
And this is what's happening in our country.
And it's a shame.”

The Atlantic Magazine confirms this in another
recent column, on how “The Trump Campaign Wants
Everyone Talking About Race. The former president
and his advisers’ strategy is to make white voters
afraid, and they don’t care if they have to lie to do
it.” We also commented on this in our reflection on
the Biden-Trump debate, when Trump’s many
outrageous racist comments were ignored.

The Atlantic Editors
continue: “Almost half the
electorate supported Trump
in 2016 and supported him
again in 2020. This same
split seems likely on
November 5

, 2024.
Trump’s support is fixed and
impervious to argument.
This election, like the last
two, will be decided by an
absurdly small percentage
of voters in a handful of
states.”

“Of all Trump’s insults, cruelties,
abuses of power, corrupt
dealings, and crimes, the event
that proved the essential
rightness of the endorsements of
Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden
took place on January 6th, 2021,
when Trump became the first
American president to try to
overturn an election and prevent
the peaceful transfer of power.”

“This year, Trump is even more

past, and the ideas of his closest
advisers are more extreme. Trump

a second term to consolidate
unprecedented power in his own
hands, punishing adversaries and

The Atlantic Editors emphasize: “Having
devoted her life to public service, Kamala
Harris respects the law and the
Constitution. She believes in the freedom,
equality, and dignity of all Americans. She’s
untainted by corruption, let alone a felony
record or a history of sexual assault. She
doesn’t embarrass her compatriots with
her language and behavior or pit them
against one another. She doesn’t curry
favor with dictators. She won’t abuse the
power of the highest office in order to keep
it. She believes in democracy. These, and
not any specific policy positions, are the
reasons The Atlantic is endorsing her.”

To summarize the remainder of the reasons why the Atlantic Magazine’s
Editors endorsed Kamala Harris, and to answer the question: Why should
we vote for Kamala Harris?
You may not agree with the Democratic Party solutions. You may not like
their immigration policies. You may not like windmills or electric cars.
But Kamala Harris is not Trump, Kamala Harris will halt our never-ending
political nightmare, Kamala Harris will not pit neighbor against neighbor,
worker against worker, acquaintance against acquaintance. Maybe, if
Kamala wins, the Civil War will finally be over! Maybe, if Kamala wins, we
can look forward to family Thanksgiving dinners once again!

The past was not so long ago. If you care about our
democracy, you must vote, democracy must be guarded
and cherished, democracy is not inevitable. We are living
through the last throes of the Civil War, the struggle for
civil rights, and democracy must win. During our
grandfather’s lifetimes, and the generations preceding
them, over ten thousand blacks were lynched without any
shred of due process during the Jim Crow years. That ugly
past can return.

The Atlantic Editors warn us: “If
you’re one of the many Americans
who can’t stand politics and just want
to opt out, remember that under
democracy, inaction is also an action;
that no one ever has clean hands; and
that, as our 1860 editorial said,
‘nothing can absolve us from doing
our best to look at all public
questions as citizens, and therefore in
some sort as administrators and
rulers.’ In other words, voting is a
right that makes you responsible.”
