Why is it so popular in the U.S.?

Shouldn't the left actually be against it?

Why should the US left be against something it actively started and helped grow into what it is today?

I am shocked by the level of support retained by the failed EU autocrats.

It’s a threat to their continued hegemony.

The survey shows that Greece is an exception in its views on the EU …
Tell that to the farmers from several EU member states headed for Brussels right now.

Tell it to the electorate who are about to put people into the EU Parliament (much good that institution is; who ever heard of a legislature that is not allowed to write a single law?) who the press have accused of being “faaaaar riiiiight”.

Considering Greece is one of the PIIGS, this attitude takes some chutzpah.

The left likes the EU, because the left has changed. EU is a powerful engine of wokeism and today’s left likes that, both in Europe and over here.

In Greece, though, the left is against the EU. The Germans who run the EU didn’t like Greece’s extensive welfare system and wanted it scaled back.

Note to Greece: The EU doesn’t care what you think. They own you.

Greece bankrupted herself, then begged the EU to bail them out. The EU did, and now the Greeks blame the EU for their economic problems. Typical liberals.

What “hegemony”, since the USA has been in retreat on the world scene whenever the left takes power? The left in the USA has enabled such powers as in the EU and Red China.

That’s EU propaganda.

Do you want to live on welfare all your life. Plus, doesn’t Ireland have one of the strongest economies in the EU?

Why give credence to EU propaganda terms?

We need the something in South America. Argentina will go to the dollar. Panama’s already there. Leave out Venezuela. Only democracies.

I wouldn’t, but I’m not European.

Haven’t been there for a few decades, but things haven’t changed for the better.

Though talk is still cheap...

Not how they see it.
The left is doing what Hillary termed “Smart Power”, by ceding US dominance to third world cannibals and piano penis midgets, they think this gives us magical “political capitol” somehow.
Also, instigating wars and color revolutions somehow makes us great in their eyes.
They see stabbing actual allies in the back just to prop up pretend and imaginary friends as a virtue.

Greece’s mouth has been writing checks its butt can’t cash for years.

Slaves often hate their masters.

I’ll believe Greece is serious if it starts to live within its means.

And it might want to do it before the EU drops them like a hot rock.

And a note to Greece: Crawling in bed with the ChiComs not a great idea, either.
