    Which European nation are you from?

    I bet the news is very gloomy in Europe.

    This was the “Brexit 2” vote the left wanted.

    American Leftists Believed Corbyn’s Inevitable Victory Would Be Their Model

    The British election results, like any election result, is the result of unique circumstances and multiple factors. It is also, however, a test of a widely articulated political theory that has important implications for American politics. That theory holds that Corbyn’s populist left-wing platform is both necessary and sufficient in order to defeat the rising nationalist right. Corbyn’s crushing defeat is a decisive refutation.

    Many writers, not only on the left, detected parallels between the rise of Corbyn and the movement around Bernie Sanders. The latter is considerably more moderate and pragmatic than the former, and also not laden with the political baggage of Corbyn’s widely-derided openness to anti-Semitic allies. And yet many leftists have emphasized the similarities between the two, which are indeed evident. Both built youth-oriented movements led by cadres of radical activists who openly set out to destroy and remake their parties. Both lost in somewhat close fashion, Sanders in 2016 and Corbyn the next year. And fervent supporters of both men treated their narrow defeats as quasi-victories, proof of victory just around the corner.

    You do not get it, absolutely not.
    If you live In CA and find a job opening in NY, you just hop on the plane for the interview. You get the job, you move and the family, just like that.
    If you live in the EU, you can do the same, just like that. Move with out restrictions, as we do in the US.
    In the US we are not Californians or New Yorker or Texans, we are US Citizens.
    Same in the EU, you are a EU Citizens, you have the same freedom of movement as you have in the US. What is bad about that.
    Do you want to break up the US into 50 countries, because that is what you are so happy about right now ?

    Obviously the Brits don't want to be just a state in Europe? By your logic the US should just band together with Canada and Mexico and become one big united 'country' with no borders.

    Why wouldn't it work out?

    The UK was fine before the EU and it will be fine after leaving it.

    They still seem to think calling others who disagree some form of deplorable is a winning strategy-which is why they lose.

    Trump does not buy into globalist crap. Quite the opposite.

    Democrat underground is hilarious right now.

    They know something big has happened-but they aren't quite sure what it means.

    So why you blokes getting all excited about an election result in the UK which has zero connection with issues in the USA? Boris won on one issue....Brexit, and you don't have a Brexit to worry about.

    Your question is supremely ironic.

    Its a massive setback for globalism. It proves Brexit is what Britain wants. Its a path towards greater prosperity in the UK.

    Basically its a triumph to all but the left.

    Global depression sounds familiar, the left assured us President Trump would cause the same.

    Nah....it is merely a confirmation of the Brexit Referendum. Don't make anything more out of it than that. The Poms have had it up to their ears in Brexit and want it over and done with. It has held the UK back for three years....time, they said, to get it done, and fair enough too.

    Dopey, I am an Aussie, and there is nothing an Aussie likes better than seeing the Poms bash each other.
