It should be a much bigger story that JD Vance flew to Hungary, stood on a campaign stage, and told voters to return a head of government widely documented for human rights abuses and democratic backsliding.
Then, after his candidate lost, Vance said what had happened during the Hungarian campaign was “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about.”
Was he describing himself?
The Hungarian people rejected it all. Democracy held, despite America’s intervention, not because of American leadership.
The United States has long argued that elections should be free from outside influence.
That standard should apply to everyone, including us.

@GregWhitak43995@NateSilver538 They arent “predictions” its what people said in surveys. Why did it say it was a “toss-up?” Well, many trump supporters, for whatever reason, did not want to publically state they were trump supporters so obviously the data was skewed.
@Plan__Red@DrJillStein@786speedauto Okay, but then i think you understand. When you said “its been done your way for 50 years”, there is no truth to that statement. For the last fifty years the way has been bombs and destabilization
@Plan__Red@DrJillStein@786speedauto dropping bombs on people has been the reliable default strategy of American foreign policy for decades and almost never worked. "Something new" would be respect for human life, sovereignty and an international rules based order.
@Plan__Red@DrJillStein@786speedauto Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Vietnam, Haiti, Guatemala… the list of “bullet through the head” is endless. Again, how is this “something new”?
@Plan__Red@DrJillStein@786speedauto Can you explain what you mean by that? Every single American president has declared another war in the Middle Ease over the last 50 years. Genuine question- i want to understand how people can think like this.
