French leftists win most seats in elections, pollsters say
The Global Left rioted and threatened the electorate for the last week, and in true French fashion the voters surrendered.
“Oui oui Pierre, Macron sucks so let’s go even further Left or these rioters might come for us!”
PARIS (AP) — A coalition on the left that came together unexpectedly ahead of France’s snap elections won the most parliamentary seats in the vote, according to polling projections Sunday. The surprise projections put President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance in second and the far right in third.
The lack of majority for any single alliance plunged France into political and economic turmoil. Final results are not expected until late Sunday or early Monday in the highly volatile snap election, which was called just four weeks ago in a huge gamble for Macron.
The deeply unpopular president lost control of parliament, according to the projections. Marine Le Pen’s far right drastically increased the number of seats it holds in parliament but fell far short of expectations.

it’s not working so we need to do it harder.

Heard there was a burst water pipe in a Lyon voting center, also something about Deux Mille Vache? I don’t speak French.

Your mouth is usually full so you don’t speak much of anything at all.

Lots of centrists root for communists. Fairly common really.

France is now as close to having complete Communist leadership as any other member of NATO. Time to kick them out and stop protecting them with US military resources.

You have to wonder when the Eastern Bloc NATO countries say “fuck it, these people are insane” and split off.

Far right populist bullshit is getting rejected in Western Europe by the majority and you just love to see it.

Ern loves communists and leftists rioting in the streets

The center and left are coming together to reject far right populism in Western Europe. Call anyone left of Trump whatever you want, but you are the loud minority. That's the case in Europe, and that's the case here.
It's not all bad though. You're looking good at home in this two-party electoral college and you still have Make America Hungary Again well within your sights, until Biden throws in the towel. After the GOP convention and a Trump VP pick, I wager. Harder to align those sights for the GOP after the convention and picking a VP first. Easier for the Dems before their convention and nominees. Not like I trust the Democrats to do the right thing after this debacle, but here's to hoping. It would be a savvy move, and if that was the play all along, I will tip the hat.
