Lefties and left-of-center people: Who do you support in the French election?

[Beet]

Hamon for reasons I stated earlier, but anyone but Le Pen. Even Fillon would be better.

[Beet]

1) Hamon
2) Melehcon



Better than the horribles and the jokers) Macron
basically equal in horribleness) Fillon and Le Pen

gun to my head if its a Fillon and Le Pen run-off, I may have to vote Le Pen because she'd basically be powerless since I doubt National Front has a chance of gaining a substantial coalition in government.

That's what they said about Trump.

are you illiterate?

how about literally the words right next to those words?

Trump has a major political party with control of every lever of power under his control.

the situation could not be more different in the case of National Front.

Thanks for responding: When I was phone banking during the election, I had a progressive Democrat tell me she was voting for Trump because the Congressional Republicans would never listen to him. Remember, back then people thought Ryan would be 100% anti-Trump and that meant the presidency was powerless.

That's not really comparable to a Le Pen + LR majority cohabitation, though. LR would have no interest in Le Pen succeeding with her agenda (or at least the parts of it on which they disagree), whereas T***p and Ryan's political fates are tied together.

Not really. The best case for Ryan is Trump is impeached and Pence becomes president.
