Your chili?

Hi.

-----
Hey Joe, I have voted to your chili before I voted against it.
-----
(Joe refers to Joe Biden.)

What does "your chili" mean?

And I found "I voted for you before I voted against you" a quite common expression.
Does it mean that "I had agreed on what you said, but I turned to disagree with you"?

Regards

We need a lot more context here. Is there a chili competition? It's not uncommon for a politician to vote for a bill one time and against it another time, especially if it changes between the votes, or vice versa.

Chili is a kind of stew, spicy with pinto beans and beef.

I voted... This is a reference to the Iraq war. One American politician was trying to appease both the pro-war and anti-war crowd by saying "I voted for the war before I voted against it."

Thanks and sorry. This original posting was not my question.
I asked the guy who asked for the meaning of the sentence to give me the link of the photo, but he did not give me a response...
