They probably don't own stocks. Market crashes don't predict recessions, either.

That's why we've got to work hard to prevent it. Register as many voters as possible, energize them, and turn them out. Finance, demographics, and policy are on our side. We've just got to get it done and not get complacent. We must remember the immortal words of the great Chang:
If this Brexit starts a mini (or worse) global recession, then that just gives Republicans ammo for the fall.
How so? It's not like any American administration would have been able to stop this?
Plus we have a close relationship with every nation in the EU because of NATO so I don't see any American trade deals collapsing.

Genuinely sorry about the upcoming recession, AmeriGAF. 
Not that I agree with the outcome, but what do you mean by minority?
Absolutely. I was talking about campaign finance and the seemingly massive gap that'll emerge between Clinton and Trump.

both berniebros and conservatives on the "blame out of touch elites"
"if they just had placated white's racist nightmares we wouldn't be here!"
what could they have done? screwed more minorities over?

1. Climate Change is real.
2. I've read the Guccifer 2.0 leaked documents.
I know differing opinions are scary here, but trust me, it's good for you guys.

remain is winning with 51% of less than 75% turn out. Less than 50% of UK voters are deciding this
You don't have an opinion, you're being an ideological hack.
Is global warming man made?
Would you have the same qualms if remain won with those same percentages?

"Watch out, low turnout can give you Trump just as it hurt us!" Jesus I'm tired of this nonsense.

I need more differing opinions in here like if Rafael Cruz killed Jack Kennedy.
That fact will be utterly irrelevant to many voters.
If there's a lesson for elites is that setting up a europe-wide, ineffective bureaucracy and then pumping in a bunch of migrants is a recipe for disaster and will lead to nationalism 1000% of the time.
Everyone knows Rafael Cruz didn't kill JFK! He just helped Oswald get into position and got him the gun.

I wonder what Bernie would say about the Brexit business
"I have not studied that. I am currently running for president"

Who cares! UK market will continue freaking out, EU member states will panic, and as the threat of catastrophic EU breakup approaches, UK will just fashion a special free trade relationship with the EU, preserving all the market goodness but making immigration and regulation completely under the domain of the UK. Done.
He conceded today, during BREXIT.

Those pesky human rights!

You have no right to live in Europe.
Well yeah, that was exactly what happened.
European elites certainly don't care about human rights.
I just don't see how this will impact the US election in such a way where somebody with 0 foreign policy experience is suddenly the person people believe in.
Even if you don't think Hillary is the person to fix a potential recession caused by market instability due to the EU being a shithole it's not like the EU hasn't always been like that. Spain, italy, greece, and turkey all bring problems to the table that the world's economy is forced to deal with.

I don't understand. You mentioned human rights so I was assuming you meant Syrian refugees.
I read them too, and while the DNC may have made plans to defend Clinton once she won the primary there is no evidence in the leaks that the DNC rigged anything in the primaries for Clinton.

There have been like 15,000 syrian refugees, and yes I believe humans have the right to escape war and states in peace and in prosperity have an obligation to take care of said human beings.
But I was mainly talking about labor having the same freedom of movement as capital and not being denied entry based on your income
What if the elites are racist?

I agree. I rarely put much merit in in conspiracies. But I do enjoy reading leaked docs.

None of this would be happening if Obama had just become a sensible moderate and invaded Iran.
So like, you legit don't understand international human rights codes and concepts of refugee asylum?

Kris is a troll character who supports North Korea and the new Philippines president.
I'm not ignoring anything. I think you have a basically untenable position. The EU is not some bastion of rights respect as that article shows, so getting mad at the average brexiter when the elites are doing things far worse seems a bit silly.

I get the impulse to freak out, but the US is by and large on an opposite trajectory than the one Europe's on right now, due in part to finally, FINALLY starting to get a handle on our racial issues right at the point they start being a major factor in the EU. I think we'll be fine.
True.
Good for Hillary supporters who aren't totally sure about her character, not so great for the "Trump's actually a liberal!" guys.
Ehhhh
Normally you might have a point, but the fundamental wackiness of Trump makes me feel like the tables might get flipped, or at least balanced out. Sorta like how normally R's benefit from the rally around the flag effect, but not with this matchup.
Scary shit happening right now. This just makes me want Trump to lose even more. Have to send a strong message that candidates like Trump will never succeed in the U.S. Hope he gets annihilated come November.
Sadly using the other is a powerful tool. Has been for the history of mankind. Just unfortunately the way it is.
Just another stark reminder tonight of how hated and scapegoated immigrants are.

When have I ever mentioned anything about North Korea? Ever?
That is correct, I do not.
To the UK, maybe. In any case, you use the word "right" very liberally here. I think there are enough places in the world that states in peace and prosperity can choose voluntarily whether to take refugees.
Anyway, the ability to control immigration is essential to being a country with a government. People do not have a right to move anywhere they want in the world. There aren't even many countries that do this.
Minority voters are a huge proportion of the vote in the US, enough to make it so that can't happen without basically all the white people voting together.
Indeed, and those politicians, people in power are as vile if not more so for using fear and hatred of human beings as a strategy to remain on top.

Never mind, it was the anti-human rights stuff in China Kris supported/was okay with.
No #ThanksObama yet? I'm disappointed.
Just another stark reminder tonight of how hated and scapegoated immigrants are.
Trump speech + The Dem sit-in + Brexit back to back to back reminded me how true that is.
Trump may be a colossal trainwreck, but I'm not going to underestimate Republicans' ability to spin even a whiff of economic or global uncertainty into gains. They're pretty good at stoking fears, no matter how irrational.
I literally predicted this exact formula earlier in the thread.
