The identity of being a Remainer or Leaver was arguably more important in that election than Tory vs Labour. Corbyn was put in a shit position of having to be the opposition with Remainer members but Leave voters up norf in Labour's strongholds, and Corbyn himself being against the EU since it was created. Corbyn is also unpopular among the public, while Bernie is very popular.
Bernie wouldn't be considered far left in any country but the US. I bet you think Obama and Clinton are left wing. David Cameron, former Conservative Prime Minister, could easily have run as a Democrat. Keep in mind I support the Tories in the UK and would definitely have voted Trump over Clinton.
Corbyn is way to the left of Bernie, WAY to the left of Bernie. Many of Corbyn's policies would make Bernie blush and mutter about small government, you have no idea. Universal healthcare is a given in every country but Burgerland and a few others that have different better solutions than you. If a Conservative Leader openly said he was against the NHS he would NEVER get elected. The rest of the world sees your healthcare and laughs at you, and in many areas like culture the US is a joke to every other country in the world, a country of mostly consoomer morons, that hasn't even existed for 250 years but you still talk about muh heritage, that admittedly had a lot more great art than any country that young should (Dickinson, Whitman, Moby Dick, Falkner to name a few) but most Americans are too stupid for that so they worship Disneyshit instead and infest the rest of the world.
My God do I hate the United States. It had such a good start, with Emerson and Thoreau and dos Passos and Crane and Eliot but it went down the shitter culturally save a few exceptions like Pynchon and McCarthy and Joanna Newsom and is now home to the dumbest people on Earth, coming from the UK, which isn't much better.
