    declare one’s public approval or support of.

    Err, you working from a different dictionary?

    This is why she resisted saying who she was voting for initially, and why she is explicitly saying she is not endorsing

      What does voting for someone do if not show support for them? In a democracy it’s the ultimate form of support.

        Lmao, idk maybe go watch her videos, she is definitely not voicing support and certainly not approval

        Just so I’m clear: you’re saying that if I had a gun to my head and was forced to choose between getting shot or eating dogshit, and I chose dogshit, that would be considered an endorsement?

          Just so I’m clear:

          She is neither being forced to vote for anyone, nor forced to let us know who she voted for. So, no, you’re not clear about it at all.

            You really don’t see the distinction? Being forced into making a choice you don’t like, and voicing a public approval of someone’s candidacy?

            I mean think what you want i guess

              ? We don’t have mandatory voting, she isn’t forced to vote at all. Additionally, she isn’t forced to publicly say who she is voting for. I see the distinction when it comes to being forced to do something, the question I have now is if you understand the word forced because it doesn’t appear that way.

                  So wait, are you suggesting that she is forced to vote and forced to announce who she is voting for? I don’t follow your response.

                    Yes, she was pressured into both of those decisions. Pretending as if it were not only a ‘free choice’ but an actual endorsement is cringe-levels of desperate, honestly.
