Opinions, Endorsements, and Group Discussions

Opinions, blog posts and discussions can be partisan, but sometimes can be helpful in bringing attention to election issues.

Sometimes discussions on forums like Reddit can give you a range of opinions about candidates and campaign issues.

Some opinions take the form of endorsement lists which explicitly recommend candidates to vote for. Again, be aware of the partisan nature of such endorsements, and carefully consider how the endorsers reached their conclusions. You will also want to look at our media inclusion philosophy page for information about what endorsements are officially allowed.
