Does it Matter?

I saw an email today that stated that the Obama’s endorsed Biden today. The sub-title of the email was “Does it Matter?”

I guess that is a valid question. On the one hand, I hope it does because I hope that the Obama’s will actively (as much as possible in the Covid-19 World we live in) campaign for Biden. This country really needs to get rid of Trump. On the other hand, the Obama’s have had a hands off approach in both this and the previous election, only endorsing the Democratic choice after they had won the nomination. I wish they had had the cojones to stand up and endorse their choice earlier, even if their choice was not the ultimate choice of the party.

It is as if they were afraid of making the wrong choice or, worse, afraid of interfering in the process. Well, I have news for them. That is exactly what an endorsement is, especially if it is a true endorsement that matters. I suspect that an early endorsement for Hillary Clinton in 2016 or an early endorsement for Joe Biden in 2020 would had gone a long way towards clearing away some of the vetch that surrounded their ultimate choice. Quite possibly, it could have reduced some of the internecine fighting that went on. Conversely, if they had endorsed another candidate, up to and including Bernie Sanders, it may have affected voters choices, particularly minority voters as they look to the Obama’s for inspiration. This is especially true in this current election cycle when there were so many Democratic candidates, including several women and minority candidates. It definitely was a lost opportunity even if they planned on endorsing Biden from the beginning.

Thus the “Does it Matter” question seems all to valid.
