Giantaxe and Nutmegger, will you also defend the "voters" of the Brexit referendum and the 2019 General Election?

Re: 2020 Election
Who is "defending" anyone or anything? I inquired, for the sake of accuracy, as to who or what, in this case, Boiler's nebulous "they" referred.

Re: 2020 Election
It's not a matter of defending anything, ffs. Do you ACKNOWLEDGE that there was a primary election and people (human citizens) voted for who they preferred? Even though you obviously disagree with the choice that the voters made, you are aware that they voted, right? Are you accusing Giantaxe or Nutmegger of denying that there was a Brexit vote? Can you quote the post(s) where they said that Brexit wasn't voted on by human beings?
I did not support Brexit but accepted the referendum result. I did not support Trump in 2016 but accepted the electoral college vote. I didn't bray and prant for the vote to be overturned only to oscillate wildly back to supporting a voting result when it favoured me and then oscillating back again like a hypocrite.
So, yes, posters braying on and on about "supporting the voters" when they only do it very selectively is the joke of the day.

Many of the Bloomberg aides — including those purged in an initial round of dismissals—were holding out hope he would deliver on a promise to keep them on his payroll through November, particularly with the coronavirus baring down. But those hopes were also dashed Friday when the staffers were told in frank conference calls that Bloomberg would not move ahead with his planned super PAC, and instead would cede his state operation to the DNC, including an $18 million infusion to help presumptive nominee Joe Biden.
Well that was surprising.
