If Le Pen doesn't make it, I'm going to put a hole through my wall

I shall pray that your wall has a fresh hole in it by the end of the day.

I don't care. I'm so proud to be in the 6% who made the right choice. The 94% can go screw themselves.

This is a very stupid comparision. France had two-rounds voting system.

Not really given that there was some real uncertainty about whether Macron (the only pro-EU candidate) was going to make it to the run-off.  What matters most in this election is that France chooses a pro-EU candidate and Macron was the only electable one.

Sorry, I'm not going to vote for a f**king neoliberal investment banker piece of sh*t just because he's ~pro-EU~

"Sorry, I'm not going to vote for a f**king neoliberal third way piece of sh*t just because she's ~not Trump ~ " - Stein voters everywhere

EDIT: Just saw you're at least gonna vote for Macron in the run-off (admittedly horrible, but obviously infinitely preferable to Le Pen), so I guess it's not quite as bad as the Stein folks.

trump and brexit are still there, so eu going into isolation if macron wins

if one state leaves 28, i guess the 28 states are the isolated ones.

anyway, macron is the hero we needed in the hour of desperation.

One thing that should not be forgotten is that while Macron is definitely the least bad of the four candidates who were thought to have a chance of making it into the run-off simply by virtue of being the only one who wasn't anti-EU, he's still pretty awful.  He's not so much the hero we needed as the least destructive villain.
