MODERATORS
Actual leftists would highlight this obvious betrayal to the masses and use it as a tool to force Macron out of power.
Let's see if they're libs (not holding breath)
This is the kind of situation Melenchon could only have dreamed of. His coalition self-sacrificed to help stop the right, they were very obviously screwed over by Macron in such a historic dick move that I'm seeing it on my local news in the middle of bumfuck USA, and now he doesn't have to tie himself to Macron's sadistic neoliberal agenda in a governing coalition. I'm no expert in French politics but I would bet this makes him a pretty strong contender for the presidency if he plays his cards right
I’m sorry to disappoint but unless you’re friends with business interests and lobbyists, you are never getting into the Élysée. Look at Mitterand for a parallel.
Lmao, he's going to get ratfucked and then politely pour his coalition down the drain.
I believe they’ve filed to impeach Macron and called for protests but that’s entirely based on what people have said on Hexbear and I’m American so idk how that’s going
They're talking about it but the media will turn it on its head and call them extremists that want to destroy democracy
they'll do that regardless. I see media already framing them as extreme left wing Trump analogs, saying the election was "stolen"
Doesn't mean they shouldn't go for it.
