MODERATORS
Years after, what else is there to say? The citizens were duped and they voted for this.
And those of us that weren't duped (and did actually vote) are stuck along for the ride, all the while knowing how preventable this whole mess was.
For starters, some of the people voting to leave didn't even know what the EU was, some voted simply because they wanted to spite David Cameron, and some thought it'd get rid of the "foreigners". All absolutely dumbfuck reasons to fuck over the country by voting leave.
Furthermore, a bunch of the remainers didn't even vote because they assumed we'd win, which is also a massively dumbfuck reason not to vote, as by doing so they effectively voted to leave instead.
To be slightly fair to them though, I'd too have a hard time imagining that there'd be so many people willing to vote so completely against their own interests based off almost solely off the words of two slimy rich bastards and a bus.
Should watch us here in the US. We always vote against our interests and it always turns to shite.
Not voting or voting without knowing what's being voted for are yet another thing we're #1 at.
