2022 French legislatives

[Secretary of State Liberal Hack]

If you want to set a standard of banning anyone who uses "pute" from running for office, that's fine (it's more like b**** in how its used, for context). If you want to call it sexist, thats fine. But saying that it is racist to call someone a "white b***h" is laughable and absolutely is racist.

The broader political thing here is that its probably best to avoid running celebrity candidates (thats who Taha is, for better or for worse) if you can help it.

So he's only a misogynist who victim blamed the Charlie Hedobo Magazine people  as asking to be shot..a truly great guy who's a real asset to the french left.

The youth being on the right side.

NUPES is historic and the dream coalition.

This is what "being leftist" is like.

So Being leftist is a "vibe" and not implementing actual policy ?, sounds about right.

Vibes are a more powerful electoral tool than implementing actual policy.

Well if being leftist is getting one or two extra muppets to rant in the legislature rather than actually changing society sure NUPES is great. In terms of changing french society, not so much.

Yeah Ensemble shouldn't win in the second round.

And to be fair, if i'd live in France and i'd live in a RN vs Ensemble district, i'd likely vote RN in cases where RN can deprive them from a seat. Just to prevent Ensemble from getting a majority, and not because I want RN to win. The priority is to prevent Macron from having a parliament in favour of him.

RN is gonna be a nonplayer anyways, they'll have like 20 to 40 seats.

But i would always vote NUPES when they're on the ballot. NUPES is the best alliance ever (and i'd always in every circumstance vote for them in 1st round). 2nd round is more strategical.

When has leftists voting for facists to own the centerist ever backfired.?. You can grab a complimentary portrait of Thälmann over there.

And the secret is revealed:

Ipsos statistic: 72% of Round 1 Ensemble voters in NUPES/RN runoffs stayed home, with the rest dividing marginally for NUPES. So All that was left in the electorate was LR/UDI voters, who went RN, and the now outnumbered NUPES.

Anyone who now supports Macron is more evil than the far-right itself.

This is just obviously untrue, I don't think there's anything more to be said.

it's proven this night.

I really don't think people who stay home in left-far right runoffs are worse than people who actually vote for the far right, although they've definitely earned a place chasing the banner in the vestibule of hell.

Do people like Laki who advocated for voting for the far right over Macron as a leftist also belong in a "vestibule of hell"?

Also comparing an online poster with powerful and influential people around Macron is whataboutery, pure and simple. Equating the mainstream left with the far right is not only morally disgusting but just about the most myopic and short term "strategising" imaginable.

The original comparison was to simply EN voters who abstained in Far-left vs nupes run-offs not "powerful and influential" people. And i'm not realy equating them, more pointing out a strange double standard where a left-wing person can actively support voting for the RN, while EN supporters who merely obstain deserve to be cast into hell.
