Days out from polling day in the mid terms and Haley Stevens (D) has endorsed Mike Rogers ® in the critical Michigan senate race.

I don’t think I understand this endorsing thing. Who cares? In a democracy you just choose who you vote for on whatever grounds you think are appropriate. What does it matter who anyone else likes. It’s very playground behaviour.

Think of it like how political parties here squabble over how they preference other parties on their how to vote cards.. it’s the same kinda thing

It’s inconsequential and consequential at the same time because it speaks to the values of the person doing the endorsing.

I don’t think I’ve ever bothered with knowing who is preferencing who. But I guess other people do.
