A lot of people endorse candidates. You don’t have to be a politician to do so. By that logic Kid Rock would be a politician.

You don't have to be a politician to endorse a candidate, but if you're a politician endorsing a candidate it is certainly to affect policy making you, yes, a politician.

We're just going back and forth on semantics here now aren't we? I'm not seeing anything further to this conversation. Feel free to post again after this if you feel you need the last word. I won't stop you.

How magnanimous of you to surrender the last word here in your second reply to me. I wasn't aware that was such a Monumental conversation. I suppose it still is a back and forth if it only occurs once, though it seems silly to be disgruntled about it.

All endorsements by all citizens are supposed to affect policy that's how democracy is supposed to work. Doesn't make us politicians.
