    You are wrong> The similarities abound. Just as the 2016 Brexit vote was a precursor this is as well.

    Lets break it down so we can educate you;

    1. A corporate national media located in bubble areas (London, NY and DC) covering a country they have no understanding of and telling the rubes they are stupid

    2. Celebrities squaking non stop in a condesending manner only they can manage.

    3. People tired of 1 and 2 telling them they know better

    4. Dynamic leader that promises to squeeze the life out the calcified system and distant almost colonial ruling class in the distant capital ( Boris and Trump)

    5. Left wing socialists existing in a social media echo chamber bubble that they think is the real world.

    6. Unchecked immigration bring the scourge of the third world to their door step. Not the door step of the ruling class in fancy sections of NY, DC, London and LA but to your neighborhood

    I could go on, but consider yourself educated.

    If you want to be an arrogant $#@!, do me a favor and don’t bother responding to me. I’m here for serious, civil discussions. I didn’t disrespect you, if you can’t reciprocate the courtesy then we have nothing more to say to each other.

    I’m disappointed, I expected a little more out of the green name group.

    How soon we forget. Corbyn = Sanders. This article from 2017 reminds us that Sanders is Corbyn. The landslide brought last night is likely a prediction of. 2020 - unless the D’s go to the center. After pitching far left ideas, it will be impossible to do so with any credibility.

    Practice what you preach mope.

    Yeah yeah we are disappointed that you claim to have serious and intelligent discussions while you play to the leftists hacks. Thus validating just how full of $#@! you are and cant handle what you dish out.

    It is not disrespectful to point out your argument is wrong. The debate about that is over.

    No, but the smarmy lines about needing to “educate” me were disrespectful.
