Even Obama said, "British people have spoken, we respect their decision."

If majority of the people choose Clinton in Nov. I am sure OP would attack anybody who claim "many Americans didn't really know what they were voting for."

Just another version of the left's I'm smarter than you meme. How much more smug can the elites get?

The following is too funny.

Quote:
All it took to bring the idea of a Brexit to the mainstream was a wealthy, colorful, New York–born, media-savvy, purposefully outrageous, peculiarly coifed, self-aggrandizing, selectively conservative, populist politician named Boris Johnson.
As Rhett might have said in modern English...Get stuffed. Full quote follows.
Quote:
The first lesson Brexit has for anti-Trump America is that there's a potential majority out there that is angry, scared, and more than willing to jump into the abyss. Sober analysts and economists warned Britons repeatedly that pulling out of the EU would be an economic and security debacle. "They heard the warnings, listened to experts of every kind tell them that Brexit meant disaster, watched the prime minister as he urged them not to take a terrible risk," says Matthew d'Ancona at The Guardian. "And their answer was: Get stuffed."
Why Brexit should scare anti-Trump Americans

They know exactly what they're voting for.
They're voting for Not-Trump.

You missed the point. the point is respect what people are voting for. Don't be a sour loser. If people vote for Clinton, so be it, if people vote for trump, so be it. If Brits voted exiting EU, respect that. Don't insult people's intelligence, problem solved.

Well, without attaching your Google search results, what are the ramifications?

Yes. We really think the British didn't totally understand the ramifications of Brexit. Just the same as the Trump Suckers don't understand the ramifications of building a 1738 mile wall between Mexico and America, our third largest trading partner. Just as Trump suckers don't understand the ramifications of banning all Muslims from the US and profiling and monitoring those already here. Just as the Trump Suckers don't understand the ramifications of restricting free trade with China and the rest of the developing world. Just the same as the Trump suckers don't understand that they are being conned by an expert con man who has nothing to sell except his persona. That bottle of colored water has nothing in it but colored water. There is no elixir.

Yes we really, really think that.

It'd be funny if Parliament looked at the financial impact of Brexit and just went--"Oh my, no thank you, I think we'll stay." The results of the referendum itself aren't actually legally binding.

British Googling 'What is the EU?' hours after voting to leave it - Winston-Salem Journal: Nation / World

I expect we'll hear a lot of this kind of regret going forward.
That's like the people who voted for Obama...there is no way back and regret is one thing but undoing it is not an option so I don't care if they knew or not and it actually makes them even more stupid!

If you watch Waters World you see a lot of stupid people who vote or agree with people while not having a clue.

It is actually funny to watch how stupid they are but very sad that these stupid people get to to vote for important things!
