I still voted for them, because I could.
And I’m sick of the useful vote thing, I did it last time in 2022 against Le Pen and all I got was a lousy President.
Better a lousy president than a fascist, hell, boring politicians is what we should aim for!
both macron and lepen are two corrupted fascists tricking you like a chicken into choosing a side and voting for them instead of “wasting your vote”

No she isn’t? Macron is president until the next French presidential election in 2027.
Prolly their confusion is that Macron called for new elections, but unlike some parliamentary governments Macron isn’t selected by parliament.
I mean yes, Macron was dumb on this one, but he isn’t as dumb as that
Yes, I misunderstood how the system works in France.
Don’t expect a Le Pencil supporter to understand reason.
I am not a supporter, I just find very stupid to postpone the inevitable while proposing… nothing better?
Strategic voting is what you’re stuck doing depending on your local electoral process.
She’s going to become president in 2024, she could have become president in 2022 instead.
If a party won’t fix the serious issue to let me also vote for who I want, they’re not entitled to my vote.
You can deny the reality of the electoral system you’re stuck with all you want, at the end of the day you’re probably one of the people that will end up suffering the most because of it.
Voting for a party I don’t want is also suffering, though I doubt you’d believe that. Keeping the main parties in power via a rigged system ain’t ending this catch 22 cycle.
I don’t know who’s worse, the person making people suffer or the person who could have prevented it doing nothing out of principle?
Because that’s exactly what people are doing by letting the right win by refusing to be strategic. Your opponent will 100% act strategically.
It is my hope that greater political diversity will prevent more suffering in the long run by governments better representing the people.
It’s very comfortable to blame others if your political opponents get into power. If you don’t have another suggestion I can at least leave you with the small comfort that this bad person won’t vote for the main party you dislike the most out of spite.
