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.
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.
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?
I mean yes, Macron was dumb on this one, but he isn't as dumb as that
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.
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.
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.
Lucky for you I'm not French. I just oppose tactical voting in favor of voting in someone who may have a chance of removing the need for tactical voting.
I don't know how long it will take and I don't know which paths actually leads to the least amount of suffered in the short term. I just know it needs to change.
