If they would have used Dominion voting machines, Biden would have won.

That being said, "C'est la vie".

Cable news networks CNN and MSNBC were pretty excited about Macrons reelection today.

The French must really like Muslims burning down their country one church at a time.

The breakdown of voting would be interesting to see, urban vs country areas.

Yellow vests back on the street



EDIT: The French authorities are seemingly prepared as they already have riot vans and cops lined up, classic

You don’t think it’s all fixed then? I don’t know if they do that system we have in the U.K. but it doesn’t matter at this point as we head into a global fascist corporate dictatorship.

Well the majority seem not to like far right bigots.

Maybe you shouldn't go there.

The alternative would have been Nazi's.

Another national election with yet again two appalling candidates.

Seems to be quite the recurring trend nowadays.

As with every other country it comes down to a choice between which side of the same arse cheek. Either way the people get shat on or shafted.

I haven't the foggiest about French elections to be honest.

I get Macron making it to the second round of voting. He's the sitting President. But why would the people of France go back to the Le Pen well again after she got absolutely trounced in 2017?

I guess she at least had a better showing this time.
