They had a riot after the result last night.
Not a very big one though, just blowing off some steam.
Sure doesnât help that she isnât the best as a candidate. France isnât going to elect anyone who isnât a borderline Menshevik.
The problem with this post isnât that itâs wrong is that it assumes Macron is a leftist. He is not.
Not by French standards anyway

Did Democrats win 96% of the mail in vote?
Yeah Macron is more or less a traditional small r French republican. Heâs pretty much in the center of the French political bar.
By our standards, heâs definitely way on the left. But by French standards, heâs middle of the road.
The French âleftâ is literally card carrying communist parties of various stripes lol.

Her father was more or less a reincarnated Vichy politician. A fascist.
Nothing is more hated in France than the Vichy regime.
She doesnât seem anywhere close to him, but she doesnât dismiss him strongly enough to get out from under his overwhelming shadow.
What does " Far right " mean? Iâve never heard it defined.
Far right in France basically means Neo-Vichy. Or Fascist in laymanâs terms.
Thereâs a reason they never win. Brings up uncomfortable memories for the French people as a whole.
Their political sphere doesnât match ours. Politics there are very different.
I donât think Pen ran as a fascist. Whatever that means?

She didnât. Her personal ideology could be considered⌠Pretty far right but not to the ultimate extreme. By French standards of course.
She is defined by her father, who was without a doubt a Fascist of the Vichy variety. And she has consistently refused to denounce him or his views.

Democrats won lopsided majorities by mail in in states where Republicans were way ahead in in person voting. What percentage do you want before it is âbadâ?
In Hungary, ethnic Hungarians in surrounding countries are allowed to vote in Hungarian elections, as the lines are rather arbitrarily drawn. Those are the ones who overwhelmingly use mail in votes and understandably have their own voting patterns.

Were there any mail in ballots found burned and trashed?
