Who is the votemaster? Do you have a link?

As for the concept, I’m pretty darn sure that most people in the world are patriots who resent foreigners telling them who to vote for.

Vance endorsed. If Hungarians are normal, that was bound to backfire.

Trump tried to bribe with promises of foreign aid. Sometimes bribery does work, so I didn’t know what to make of that. Has that kind of bribery every been tried before?
