FWIW, I don’t think this post actually endorses a specific candidate, and instead is asking if endorsing a specific candidate makes sense. Maybe that’s too close for comfort, but I don’t see this post as arguing for a particular candidate, but asking for arguments for or against a particular candidate. Thus as the policy is worded now this seems okay for frontpage or community to me.
Allowing such a post would totally neuter the rule. All one would have to do is take your draft “Trump is actually the best candidate from an EA perspective” and re-title it “Is Trump actually the best candidate from an EA perspective?” Scatter in a few question marks in the text and you are fully compliant.
I think I agree, but my point is maybe more that the policy as worded now should allow this, so the policy probably needs to be worded more clearly so that a post like this is more clearly excluded.
