The American left would like to thank the UK for showing the world that our country is not the only laughing stock since 2016.

We both bought into something so fundamentally stupid that we'll be paying for it for years, if not decades.

My favorite part about the Brexit is the stance that it would be anti-democratic to let the people of the UK vote again three years later.

Meanwhile, it's the norm in democracies that the people get to vote for new governments every 4-6 years depending on the country. But for the Brexit it's apparently a betrayal of democratic principles to ask the people if their opinions have changed since three years ago.

But at the same time it's apparently totally democratic to vote in the parliament for the exact same thing 3 times in just as many months, with a 4th one looming in a close future.
