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.

a not inconsequential number of people look to their representatives for guidance on, among other things, who to trust.

What is a little bit different this election is that early in person turn out is way up as people are dubious of the validity of votes cast by mail (because they are worried their vote won’t be counted), so late endorsements probably don’t count for a lot.

In my my mind single issue voters that are discounting El-Sayed on the basis of a supposed non-support of Jewish people are probably doing more harm than good.
