[NEWS] Brexit: MPs overwhelmingly back Article 50 bill

[Master Matthew²]

well no, we didn't
he didn't get a plurality of votes

We did, maybe the popular vote didn't win, but that isn't how this country is ruled, and those who wish it were gone, most certainly don't realize what would happen if we removed the electoral college, and handed over the votes to the cities.

it's not how the country is ruled
but are you going to say that morocco shouldn't listen to the people because "that's not how the country is ruled?"
i mean, we can't pretend that the election was in any way democratic

and those who wish it were gone, most certainly don't realize what would happen if we removed the electoral college, and handed over the votes to the cities.

i'm not sure what you think "abolishing the electoral college" means but it isn't "handing the votes to the cities"
it's "handing the votes to the people, who may or may not reside in a city"

and what the forget would happen?

i never followed brexit but i think its a horrible idea to do anything anti-globalist

Of course you do

[DestroyerOfBlocks]

matthew actually believes people in larger states are too dumb to vote for themselves so don't even try

[TristanLuigi]

Of course you do

that's your retort
that's

that's what you're going with
okay

globalism isn't inherently bad, it's just that it needs to benefit people rather than corporations or countries
it's sorta weird, i see this aversion to globalism on both the left and right and it's the main thing i disagree with sanders on
see: alter-globalization

[Drydess]

what exactly is wrong with the prospect of "the cities" "deciding" who gets voted in, other than the fact that it's "the cities" "deciding" who gets voted in

[PhantOS]

master matthew thinks that some people's vote shouldn't be worth as much just because they hold a different opinion than him.

[Nal]

So much salt

Time for more liberal tears

"I have nothing relevant to say so haha screw those dang liberals"

[Nonnel]

the cities would decide the votes because the cities have all the loving people in them

"I have nothing relevant to say so haha screw those dang liberals"

I mean it's pretty well known that there are a lot of people who oppose this who can be classified as SJWs or "Libtards" so it's not really that irrelevant

so... you're stating the obvious then

and that somehow classifies as a worthwhile post... how?

What you did was essentially say "there exists a class of peoples or persons who will not enjoy this result" which is extraordinarily obvious in literally any scenario while at the same combining it with the extraordinary cringe of

SJWs aren't actually a major political force, they're a very tiny fraction of people who are mostly obsessed with tumblr
and "libtards" is just a stuffty generalization of everyone in the center or center-left

and yes, you've noticed quite acutely that liberals tend to oppose brexit. well done? and then you assumed that they would have an emotional breakdown over it

Hey fellow libbies, anyone want 2 partake in my mass Self Delete tomorrow ? 🙃🔫

I only posted "yay more liberal tears" to joke about the cringey and bad that group of people react to this stuff. Nal said it was irrelevant and I only stated what I meant just to show him it's relevant to the topic. Yes, I know it's obvious. I didn't post it to state the obvious, I posted it to correct someone. Calm the hell down, you all are getting up about a very simple joke / poke at that minority that I made.

"yay more liberal tears" is meant to be a joke, and I thought that was obvious at this point in time. Why are you guys getting all up on me for it???
