Facebook rolled out a new feature today that lets users endorse presidential candidates, a move that will probably\u00a0bring even more acrimonious comments about this election cycle into your News Feed. Yay.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works: You can go onto any candidate\u2019s Facebook page \u2014 yes, this includes third-party candidates like Jill Stein and Gary Johnson; no one is getting left out \u2014 click \u201cEndorsements\u201d in the left-hand column and add your own endorsement. Facebook\u2019s Help Center has detailed instructions<\/a> on how to make endorsements. You can choose to make your endorsement public to everyone who visits the candidate\u2019s page (and surely no one will abuse this to shitpost on the page of a candidate they oppose), or you can make your endorsement only to your friends and family, if you haven\u2019t blocked them all already for posting racist memes.<\/p>\n

It looks like Facebook plans to make the feature more widely available to candidates in state and local elections, too \u2014 the company says the only thing you need to do to receive endorsements is change the category of your page to \u201cPolitician, Political Candidate, or Government Official.\u201d<\/p>\n

Facebook also added an \u201cIssues\u201d tab to the candidates\u2019 pages, cribbing a feature that Google incorporated into Search earlier this year that allowed candidates to list directly in search results their positions on a variety of issues.<\/p>\n
