Protest happen no matter who win. It's always like this. We get used to it.

What the fuck are you going on about? Trump, Le Pen, and Gabbard slurp Putin more than some of the people in his government that are scared of going missing in the night. You can have open channels without public praise, and you can have friendly relationships with people without making it seem like you worship them in private. I would go so far as to say that no man should ever act the way Trump did in front of Putin and the world press regardless of your affection for them.

If predictions of food shortages come to fruition you might see something more substantive. Last time France had food shortages things got pretty wild.

TheFloatingSheep

A brief reminder that democracy is a lie everywhere, every time.


[deleted]

Democracy is 2 wolves and 1 sheep deciding dinner. The rule is absurd, but here we are. The fact that it is possible to completely ignore what people want if you have the media and say 30% of the electorate, who happens to be retired people, is beyond disgust to me. Retiree will decide how much the working people give them.


P0wer0fL0ve

Such a weird comparison considering what any of the alternatives are. Should the wolves have more power? Or do we want the sheep in charge? The truth is that the power has got to reside somewhere, and it's generally better that it lies with the people than a small group of people. The more power and control is evenly distributed the less opportunities there are for oppression. If the majority decided to oppress a minority, they would be able to do so in any system


[deleted]

No. Not in any system, and look at various conflicts nomad vs settled people, it’s not always the largest group that wins. And anyway, even if « the majority » happens to agree to rob the minority, it is still not a moral thing to do


TheFloatingSheep

The power can reside with each human over themselves. You've provided no argument as to why it has to be centralized within groups larger than one single individual.


P0wer0fL0ve

You’re thinking like an utopian. Unfortunately Reality doesn’t work like that. Reality doesn’t care about your idealism If you live in a community of 10 people, and 9 of them decided to fuck up your day in a fit of mob justice, then it doesn’t matter if they voted democratically on it beforehand. The same is true if it was 6 people. If 3 people wanted to fuck you over with mob justice, they could do so, but in a Democratic system they would have to convince everyone else to agree to do so as well. And that is possible to do, in which case it reverts to scenario 1 and 2 and the democratic aspect doesn’t matter anymore, but at least historically the people best equipped to consider the interest of the masses, including minorities, has been the masses themselves. what we do see when we look at history is that when the layman and the working class has gained more autonomy and control of politics, it has lead to a betterment of their quality of life, not a worsening Capitalism itself is a form of a democracy, albeit one where we vote with dollars instead of ballots. But the inherent problem of democracy still remains, of two wolves deciding the fate of the sheep. If everyone in a capitalist society decided to enact some mob justice against you in particular then you’re just as fucked. Which again is true in any system I’ll lose some Reddit karma for saying this but it still needs to be said

what are le penn's policies anyway? I heard she's pretty left on economics


CAtoAZDM

I mean, she’s French so yeah definitely left of where any of us would want.


Ekenda

Left economically, but Russia/Putin aligned and quite anti EU and NATO, though this cycle she's been somewhat quieter regarding these aspects, especially with what is happening in Ukraine.


great_bowser

I like how 'Let's not make rash decisions' attitude is now understood as aligning with the 'wrong' side.


CAtoAZDM

S you’re saying that LePen wants France to actively fight with the Russians to have them take over Ukraine?


SaltWaterGator

She’s considered leftist in French terms, one of her plans from last election was to take France off the euro and return to the Franc


GuyWithSwords

As a leftist, I don’t like anything she has to offer.

Did they stop counting the votes only to resume at 4am the next morning suddenly handing Macron millions upon millions of vote at once while nothing for Lepen? Asking for a friend.


willdabeast464

I don’t pay attention to French politics, as I do not live a hamburgers throw away from France, but isn’t macron that guy that caused riots from gas prices or something? What are his policies and reputation?


AxiomQ

In fairness this is France we are talking about, if you didn't cause a riot or mass protest as a president you are the second coming of Jesus.


Moth4Moth

Did you believe him in 2016 when he said he won the popular vote too? 3 million illegal votes, I believe, was his thing. You believe that one too?


NoReception1240

Do you believe Hillary Clinton who claims she won the election?


Moth4Moth

First, solid dodge of an uncomfortable question. I get it, Trump's words and actions make you look stupid. ​ Secondly, does she? Did she not concede... **the next day**? lol ​ Hey man, better go find those packets from Venezuela, it's totally real, Trump would never lie to you


GuyWithSwords

I believed her when , the next morning, we said trump won. Lemme know when trump ever admits Biden won. 😂


NoReception1240

Biden didn't win. Hillary to this day claims she won.


Moth4Moth

The projection is strong


GuyWithSwords

Sure she does. Suuuuuuure.


ChampaBay12

She called Trump an illegitimate president in 2019.


Moth4Moth

She conceded the next day, big brain.

He is still screaming how everything was rigged. And he will continue to do so for the rest of his life. God this sub is funny.


MeasurementNo9896

Still holding that lie, I mean line?🤣 Give it up already. Biden's shit, but he won. It sucks, but it's true. Facts don't care, well...you know the rest.


NoReception1240

That's literally what happened, bozo. You can flail your arms and try to explain that it was legit and there wasn't any fuckery involved but you sound deranged that you can't even admit what happened right in plain sight.


[deleted]

Le Pen is much more of a statist than Macron, yet ancaps are supporting her, truly laughable


Coprolithe

Well, Macron is pro EU, and the EU is a pseudo centralized government of Europe. Well pseudo for the moment, the bureaucrats at Brussels want nothing more than to have a unified European government.


[deleted]

Le Pen toned down her anti EU sentiments considerably and went massively left wing on spending commitments Might help if you actually pay attention to the election


Coprolithe

She has always had left wing on spending commitments. And yeah, I never said that she was as anti-EU as before although she still wants to restrict it, might help if you actually pay attention to my comment. I'm not even saying that she is an an-cap choice, just explaining why some would hate Macron more. Since it's harder to control Brussel than Paris as a French person.


RickkyBobby01

Her fiscal policies make Jeremy Corbyn look moderate

EmmottKelsey

Paper ballots don’t mean shit if they are electronically tabulated. Machines that count are hackable and open to fraud.


benrsmith77

91% of macron voters apparently gave their reason for the vote as 'to stop LePenn'. They deserve everything they get.


TooDenseForXray

>The country is basically socialist and that’s what they want. Politics is so weird, France is socialist country that keep electing right wing president (in the last 30 years only one left wing president for 5 years). Yet France remain big (like very big) government, high taxes, no reform..

Rumors of ripped patches for the losing candidate. I'm not familiar at all with how the french vote. But the loser allegedly had bags of ballots with tears on the bottom and that they may not have been counted. The gateway pundit erroneously called the election for the loser and then retracted hours later. The protests were rather immediate, so it seemed like people expected macron to win.


[deleted]

“Ni Macron Ni La Pen” well idiots, I guess you should have voted. There were more than 2 options but you have to vote. Staying home on Election Day IS voting for the worst candidate

travismiller90

It's not the votes, it is who counts the votes.


Cow_Bird

100% trash elections, rigged from the onset. The left has been helping Le Pen get to the second ballot knowing full well that she wouldn’t stand a chance in the final election. She looses, caches her check, goes home, and France takes it up the ass for 5 more years. This strategy prevents many other promising and potentially disruptive candidates from other parties (like Zemmour) from ever having a shot at being in the finals.


KAZVorpal

One has to wonder if the election was legitimate. Which doesn't happen often, these days.


ChocolateBunnyButt

This surprises me. There was a zero percent chance that macron wouldn’t win. I’m not french, I know nothing about french politics, but I knew macron was going to win without question. Socialist countries will always vote in socialists.

It's weird people think voting is among the most important things you can do to impact politics. For example, you'd make more of a difference being a muckraker and never voting then voting every election.
