As you noted, it's not simple. I think it was a bit disingenuous of him (Besos) to do it just now, though. Even if he was trying to avoid seeming biased, that isn't how it seems when you kill a Harris endorsement this close to the election. Endorsements that include all the reasons why the editors have chosen that candidate, as long as they contain nothing but facts (as opposed to opinions about non-factual issues) can be helpful. Or, as many local papers do for local elections, just a description of each candidate, their positions on whatever the issues are, and a report on how they've voted or whatever in the past. The fact that the post has a history of not endorsing candidates is a good argument- but the timing sucks, and this is not a normal election by any means.
