Interns Criticize The Nation's Harris Endorsement

The endorsement of Kamala Harris by The Nation has sparked significant dissent among its interns, who argue that her support for Israel undermines the publication's commitment to justice and reflects a failure to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In contrast, Metro Weekly has endorsed Harris, highlighting her historical advocacy for LGBTQ rights and framing her candidacy as crucial for democracy amidst rising authoritarianism. Meanwhile, articles emphasize the stakes of the upcoming election, with warnings about Trump’s potential return to power and the implications for civil liberties and democratic institutions. Additionally, artists have rallied in support of Harris, releasing a new campaign anthem to galvanize voters against what they perceive as threats to democracy. As various media outlets navigate endorsements and public sentiment, the overarching narrative reflects deep divisions within political and social movements regarding the future direction of the country.
