    The Guardian (a left-of-centre British newspaper) did something similar in 2004, getting volunteers to phone voters in battleground states imploring them to vote Democrat. If anything, this boosted the Republican vote, as random foreigners telling citizens who to vote for is not a good look.

    At the risk of explaining a joke into the ground your comment has more than one reference. The UK’s two main parties have their colors flipped. Labour’s color is red.

          Blue for right wing, red for left wing has been standard since forever. What colour was the USSR?

      Correct. The 3rd amendment requires enlisted military personnel to ask and obtain your consent prior to fucking your wife in your own home.
