France 2017: Results Thread

[Tirnam]

For 2 hours. But when she somewhat danced for 10 seconds ...

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Macron clearly won the debate and the presidency. Le Pen was acting like a monkey near the end. Both physically and mentally.

[Mike88]

Finally, it's over. Le Pen was really bananas... God!!

Will there be polls on who won?

[I Won - Get Over It]

Will we get any instant polls today?

[Antonio the Sixth]

This was depressing.

[ApatheticAustrian]

the internet seems to be kind of d'accord regarding le pen's failures.

Is this just debate-watchers, or somehow weighted to reflect the general population?

Well.

I still like Le Pen.

Debate watchers

Did they have a before of just debate-watchers? I kind of suspect the sort of people who watch debates are more likely to support Macron from the beginning anyway, which may indicate that this won't move the numbers at all in Macron's favor. Not that he needs it, of course, but I'd rather Le Pen be around 35% or lower than 40% or a smidge higher.

[DL]

Well.

I still like Le Pen.

Do you also like Hitler?

[MAINEiac4434]

On Sunday it'll be 65-35 Macron, if not worse. Le Pen came off as unhinged.

[adma]

Well.

I still like Le Pen.

Do you also like Hitler?

If that's the preference of a self-described *moderate* Republican, boy is the US in trouble...

[Pericles]

I think Macron will get around 60%.

[Gass3268]

Obama released a video explicitly endorsing Macron.

[Mike88]

Le Pen was received with insults and hit with eggs in Dol-de-Bretagne.

Thank God Macron is winning over Neo-Nazi Marine LePen.

[Zanas]

So I just read this whole thread and boy was it bad. I hesitated a bit, but I isolated the absolute worst post of all, here it is :

He'll probably write in "myself", "Melenchon", "Lenin", "Fidel Castro" or "Hugo Chavez" or something and therefore cast an invalid vote.

Boy that was bad.

FWIW, Mélenchon actually kind of wanted to have a slightly clearer call to vote against Le Pen on the night of the first round, but some of his younger "lieutenants" talked him out of it. If you knew a little about him, you'd know that he will obviously cast a Macron vote on Sunday, he's been wearing a red triangle on his vest for years for cryin out loud. But he wanted his Insoumis to have a voice, and appealed to their judgment, which I guess is politically quite refreshing, but I can understand why most of the establishment was infuriated with.

Anyway, I'm not here to defend Mélenchon, I don't even really like the guy.

So about the runoff. I've finally decided to cast a vote for Macron. Interesting fact : you know about psychosomatism ? I decided to go on Tuesday morning to make my proxy, and so during the preceding night, I woke up at 3 AM and went and emptied my bowel with flooding diarrhea. I repeated the act not long after having effectively made my proxy in the morning. That's what Macron inspires me.

Oh and as for the polls, I think it will be somewhat wider. I for one, and a lot of leftists I know, am gonna cast a Macron ballot, but a very shy one, if I were polled I would definitely not say it so that Macron and his supporters stay scared as long as possible. Petty, you say ? Definitely.

Pathetic and hilarious.

Macron will destroy the country entirely, if this is even possible anymore given the state of France.

I'm sorry did I offend your snowflake feelings by telling the truth about your idol LePen, who is both Neo Nazi and Russian backed? Fortunately at least you live under a strong pro European Chancellor Merkel who despises the alt right. Good thing that.
