What Do Some Anti-Brexit Voters REALLY Think of Leave Voters?


The United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union has literally dominated the mainstream news cycles for well over three years now. You’ll hear the word “Brexit” likely within a few minutes of switching on virtually any news show. 

The divisions within the country that led to Brexit (opposition to immigration, parliamentary sovereignty/opposition to globalisation) were the main reasons given to polling agencies and survey takers, which in turn led to the flourishing of another division surrounding Brexit: anyone who voted “Leave” is a far-right racist who hates immigrants and has no idea how an economy functions, and are poorer, less educated members of society. 

But, with most insane hot takes, it has to go a step further. As you can see pictured above, our friend Laurence here is casually advocating for the genocide of any and all “Leave” voters. Quite how you can propose a genocide of any political dissidents and suggest that you’re morally correct is quite astonishing, I mean I’m all for political jokes and satire (leftists are all freeloading freedom-hating whiners who think everything is racist) but “joking” about killing 17.4 million people is honestly reprehensible.

Views like this are unfortunately rather prominent within anti-Brexit circles, as they deem any individual who voted to leave the European Union, no matter the reason they voted this way, as uneducated bigots who voted solely based on a hatred of immigrants. Admittedly, immigration was one of the main factors people considered when casting their vote to leave, but ignoring all other criticisms of the EU and overriding 17.4 million voters is extremely dangerous and anti-democratic.

One of the main arguments this group of people like to use in favour of a second Brexit referendum is that it’s actually more democratic, now that more members of the public have a greater understanding of what Brexit actually means and have had more time to form their opinions on the subject, but not Sally. Sally would prefer a situation in which her favourite politicians form a dictatorship and override the will of the British voters in order to force the United Kingdom remaining in the European Union. If all of this isn’t ironic enough, a quick glance at Sally’s Twitter profile show that she has recently complained about Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party not falling in line and endorsing a “People’s Vote”, even though, according to Sally, working people’s tiny minds are unable to make any important decisions.

MSNBC Host Lawrence O'Donnell Explains How The Democratic Party Treats The Left

MSNBC's "The Last Word" host Lawrence O'Donnell describes his politics as a "practical European socialist", which essentially boils down to being a nordic-style social democrat, usually in favour of a mixed economy with a generous welfare state and has defended his positions on MSNBC news shows that typically frown upon stepping outside the neoliberal bubble. O'Donnell is no progressive hero in the context of american politics, sometimes scolding progressive politicians whenever they mildly criticize the Democratic Party, such as when Bernie Sanders tweeted about having to take on the Democratic establishment as well as Republicans, O'Donnell decided to concern troll Sanders by claiming that the Democratic establishment wouldn't pass Sanders' proposals if he wasn't nice to them. Over the course of the last few months an old video of O'Donnell explaining how to move the Democratic Party further left and how the party treats the p...

Donald Trump's Own Pollster: Bernie Sanders Would Have Won

So, as it turns out, even Donald Trump's very own pollster has confirmed what progressives have been saying for over a year now: Bernie Would Have Won. This seemingly obvious statement has been disreputed by two groups of political loyalists - Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton supporters. Trump's supporters, who view Donald as some sort of God who has never put a foot wrong, find it laughable that a 'communist' Independent politician could defeat their dear leader. As for people who would bow down at the feet of Hillary Clinton - you'll be able to find them by the use of their #StillWithHer Twitter hashtag - prefer to use the rather childish defence of "WE WON! YOU LOST!"(although Hillary has now lost twice during a major election) in order to suggest Sanders would have suffered the same fate as Clinton during the 2016 General Election. The pollster in question, Tony Fabrizio, made the claim while speaking at a Harvard University Institute of Politi...

Does Donald Trump Think He's Winning?

A little while back we wrote about Joe Biden's gradual decline in the polls against current President Donald Trump, ranging back from before the Democratic Primary even took place, during the primary, and now that Biden has become the Democratic nominee. Biden enjoyed leads of eighteen points in a large number of polling matchups leading up to the Democratic Primary, and his polling advantage began to slowly erode as the primary went on, with Trump slightly ahead in some polls. Losses in the Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada contests cut into Biden's lead against Trump, as did his constant gaffes on the debate stage and in interviews, as well as the fact that he is still dealing with sexual assault allegations from Tara Reade, which haven't been concluded or even reported on in months. However, following Trump's abysmal handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the police killing of George Floyd and many other black Americans since then, the subsequent protests and further pol...
