The current presidential election has been one of the most tumultuous and incendiary cycles in recent history, with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton racing for the White House amid scandal after scandal. Naturally, a lot of people are now sick of hearing and reading about it. Apparently, Facebook doesn’t think so since the social network just introduced a Presidential candidate endorsement button. So now, users can make it even more obvious that they support either Trump or Clinton.
The Next Web is one of the first to notice this new feature that Facebook quietly inserted into its system, with nary a peep from the social network’s leadership about it. As the publication also notes, this addition might be a bit unnecessary since it’s generally easy to tell which user supports which candidate based on what they post, share, or like.
Even so, it seems Facebook believes that its users should make their stance even clearer via endorsement stickers on their feed. Users can simply go over to the official Facebook page of the candidate that they want to endorse and hit the Endorsement tab. From there, users can either click post or write something on the box first as to why they are endorsing their particular candidate.
Many are already seeing this move as a potential source of social media firestorm, igniting arguments with friends and family members over their respective endorsements. Thankfully, the feature also comes with the option to make the users’ endorsements public or shown only to friends, Tech Crunch reports. This should at least limit the number of people to get in fights with.
The endorsement feature won’t be limited to presidential candidates for long, however, as state and local level elections are apparently next on Facebook’s agenda. Politicians can take advantage of this new offer from the social media site by simply having their pages changed to the “Politician, Political Candidate, or Government Official” categories.
