Seems like it was polling to stay in the EU

The polls I saw flipped back and forth and were otherwise pretty tight between REMAIN and LEAVE. Ultimately, just a 4pt diff is pretty close and the flooding in (pro-REMAIN) London on Election Day likely didn't help.

And Hillary is David Cameron with a dick...
"Dum de-dum-dum"
Since the well-reasoned Political Revolution offered by Sanders was so thoroughly despised and sabotaged by the ruling elite, let's just have us a good ol'-fashioned REAL revolution instead!!....Wanna see heads roll??....catch the opening bell Monday morning on the NYSE and NASDAQ....guillotines would've been kinder...
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of jagoffs...

It is important to understand that support for leaving the EU was by no means limited to fascist nationalist sentiment. Like the Sanders-led opposition to the TPP, the "Leave" campaign in the UK was, as explained by John Nichols, a working class rejection of globalization and neoliberal austerity.

The super delegates and the American people should stand with Britain and elect Bernie Sanders. Are we really going to let asshole Trump run with this ball?
It has been amazing to watch all the world leaders looking so detached and bewildered. The NYT's video website had videos of all of them and a bunch of other videos, not ONE of which didn't make the vote look like a disaster.
It's the working class's turn; not some spoiled brat billionaire like Drumpf.

Just in case you needed to have reality bent backwards today, you can watch this ad the Koch brothers put out, making a case against winner-take-all in our society.
These billionaires really have balls, don't they?

Spot on, Ernie and Larry....ALL of us are now compelled to ern-estly drill down to the core truth of every...single...world event, piercing the layers upon labyrinthine layers of bullshit spin, hype and PR....i start from the premise that everything's basically just a lie (lookin at YOU, Hill) and then go from there....
Bernie's looking better every day that passes....he's going to the Convention with his sizeable delegate army....i'm going to the Convention with my vuvuzela!!....this thing is far from over!!....these are revolutionary times, with heaven and hell at our fingertips...
So jump in, kids, we're goin' for a ride....the ride of a LIFETIME....it's all getting real at once now, it seems....future shock, say hello to tipping point...

We're used to the media's "balance". Some say it's good, some say it's bad. With "Brexit" IT'S ALL BAD. WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!
This gives me hope that Britain did exactly the right thing.

That's exactly correct, Lar....frog in boiling pot metaphor....we have been incrementally sliding into Orwellian bad is good, down is up, wrong is right, right is left doublespeak for decades now....and like the poor metaphorical amphibian, the global mass populations find themselves in boiling water and have no fucking idea how they got there....they're "angry as Hell!!" but mostly incapable of directing their grievances to the actual source....revolutionary times are dangerous times, to be sure....lots of sound, lots of fury, but we won't know the true meaning of any outcome until most of the 'smokescreen' has cleared....we must all make the daily effort to stand upright, be who we are, and do the right thing....no matter which way things go, you will never have to look down on yourself...

I thought Joe Biden was going to break out in tears.
