What is your opinion of Britons who voted on 24 June 2016 in the United Kingdom? Some legendary celebrities that have entertained us for decades supported Brexit as well, such as Dame Joan Collins, Sir Michael Caine, etc.

I can understand why many of them did, but let's not forget the huge contingent of middle class little Englanders living in Hampshire who jusr don't like Jonny Foreigner.

Anyway, HPs overall for rejecting one of the few institutions that we could potentially use to actually fight back against neoliberalism, because Social Democracy is going to require setting rules that countries have to follow, and the EU can do things that individual countries can't.

Also HPs for the massive shush-storm that Brexit has created for my family, because there is an actual fycking human impact

Why not? They aren't on the Euro, and way over subsidized the EU as a whole. EU is a flawed economic confederacy that really only benefits a few nations while pegging economically stronger nations to badly run and economically damaged nations. Why do the heavy lifting for minor benefit?

I think they should've voted to stay  in, but the pro-EU argument was keep thing tge same or risk uncertainty. I would've voted remain, but hell, if I was struggling to put food on the table every day, then I likely would've voted leave.

Overall, we need to stop framing this as an immigration issue, because it's largely not. Same goes for framing as the left wanting to stay in and the right wanting to get out. It's not that simple. If you brand someone a racist for wanting to leave the EU without even trying to understand the underlying economic reasons for them wanting to leave, then you shut the argument down. Bad ideas can only be defeated through intelligent debate.

So, in conclusion, stop whining and accept the friggin' result.

This is the correct answer. The referendum cut across most usual political lines and a lot of different groups voted the way they did for different reasons; retired Sikh foundry workers in Wolverhampton voted for Brexit for rather different reasons to the typical resident of Boston, Lincs.

A lot of people, from immigrant background voted to leave, to call people that voted for brexit "racist", for opposing uncontrolled immigration in ludicrous.

I don't think it would be healthy to hold contempt for half the population.

Those who are desperate for change are always disappointed, hence many of those who spammed the webs in 2008 against Bush/McCain and for Obama ended up supporting Bernie while the more laid back types regard him as one of the best presidents ever.
