In another thread earlier this week about republican endorsements, someone suggested an alternative possibility that I thought was insightful: they are endorsing her to try to get people to the polls by any means possible. They fear Trump has become so disenfranchising to everyone other than his most fervent base that republican turnout will be horrible. My own opinion: this helps in three possible ways.

1. By telling people it’s ok to vote for Kamala you get them in the building and expect that they will vote heavily R down the ballot.
2. You get people in the building thinking they are going to do 1) but end up voting for Trump anyway in the end because in that final moment they just can’t bring themselves to vote (D)
3. You weaken the confidence of the general ® voters by making it seem like Kamala has a very strong chance of winning and whip them out of complacency to get them into the building.

I’d really like to think that it’s actually because of patriotism and genuine care for the wellbeing of the country, but I wouldn’t put any of the above past them. It could also be a little bit of both.

I’m going to agree with you 100% but offer an anecdote, my lg tv has an hdmi 2.0 port but didn’t support Dolby vision at 120 hz out of the box. After an update, it now supports it. Should LG have had that ready to go by the time of manufacture ? Maybe. With design and manufacturing timelines maybe the spec wasn’t ready to implement by the time needed. Is Samsung going to use this to enshitify the tv? Maybe. But the time from design, to manufacture, to retail is such a long process there are cases where a feature update can be justified
