You can now publicly endorse political candidates on Facebook and loose friendships via the new endorsements tab that you can find under your favorite politicians Facebook page. The process is straight forward, just go to your preferred politicians Facebook page and click on the endorsements tab. Then on the right you will find a button that says endorse which will create a post for stating you endorse said politician.
This is part of Facebook's latest efforts to get people politically engaged and if you've noticed Facebook has been pushing users to register to vote and take action more than ever in this election. But why is the election relevant to Facebook? It could be because there may be a potential chance that Facebook will surpass Alphabet Inc. in political ad revenue making Facebook a bigger platform for political campaigns.
Weather you decide to opt in to this or not is entirely up to you and Facebook doesn't force you to endorse anyone. With that said be aware when you endorse a politician as everyone will be able to see it and be responsible.
