The Left is hailing the election of Macron as a vote against Trump?

[surada]

Real Inflation is at 14% and The Job Force has actually shrunk directly as a result of EmperorShitzHizPantz' policies and idiotic diaper shitting behaviors.
The Senile old Shart is passing the few brain cells he has left through his Anus by the minute.

Aren't you the sanctimonious Christian.

France's Macron defeats far-right Le Pen

STORY: French President Emmanuel Macron won reelection on Sunday, defeating his far-right opponent Marine Le Pen by a comfortable margin, heading off what would have been a political earthquake.In a speech below the Eiffel tower, Macron acknowledged those on the political left who voted for him...

The Left is desperate as they celebrate the election of Macron as a good sign that Trump will be defeated in the US.

Meanwhile, riots break out around Paris in protest as the article states that this may be a sign of more to come as most don't seem to want him. It is suggested that the votes were not rigged, rather, it was just that people voted against the "far right" candidate who opposed Macron.

So that is where world elections are at I reckon. Vote for corrupt Leftist elites that no one wants for fear that someone from "the far right" might win.

Apparently, democracy only involves voting for the Left, also known as the centrist, or allow the fascist right winger in as all voting and life in general will cease. For democracy to exist, only one party will due.

That is, if you believe the media.

Just wait.What happens around this time next week with the Release of :
- 2000 Mules { 2022 }
A mule is a person who collects mail-in ballots and deposits them in a
Post Office drop box.Therein lies the Big Lie { " Most secure Election in
American History " says some G-Man flak { federal election security official }.
A mule could easily have dozens upon dozens or more of Ballots that find their
way in the dead of night into special placed New Post Office Drop boxes.
True The Vote has the most extensive Election Intelligence data via select
state surveillance.So there's firsthand proof.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

It was a vote against Autocratic White "Christian" Nationalism.

The mediocre person they voted for was simply a NO vote to THAT.

Just like 2016 and 2020 here. It's just not that complicated.

Right. So simple. Those seem to be the choices these days: centrist corporatists vs. far right extremists and various loons.

Trump's use of Russian oil was smaller than Obama's or Biden's. The US was an oil exporter under Trump.

U.S. Imports from Russia of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products (Thousand Barrels)

View attachment 635989

Its not the "rate of production" that matters, its the net production of oil, and Xiden's energy policies still have US oil production well below Trump's 13m bpd. So Biden is buying TWICE as much oil from Russia, AND releasing 1,000,000 bpd from the SPR. An energy catastrophe by any other name.

Nope. We didn't buy oil from Russia until Trump put sanctions on Venezuela.

 

[Rigby5]

You don't want a rise in authoritarian nationalism in Europe. It leads to Fascism. Didn't work out the first time.

Agreed.
But the fact is Le Pen still got 41% of the vote, so it looks like things are getting much worse.
While I believe in equality, diversity, multiculturalism, etc., the reality is the wealthy are taking more than their share.
There is more disparity between the wealthy and poor, than there has ever been.
Good paying jobs are disappearing either to unregulated foreign sweatshops or robotics.

Not sure of the solution, but it seems to me that government funded industries to ensure good jobs, may be the only solution?
The US also needs public health care, public means of not needing to waste money on insurance, guaranteed housing, etc.

 

[Rigby5]

Le Pen was against Nato and was pro Putin and russian, how could anyone expect her to win.

The same as tramp.

Any halfway intelligent person should be against NATO and for Putin.
NATO is the old colonial imperialists like France, England, and Spain, along with the newer colonial imperialist, the US, to illegally dominate the world by force. If NATO was not corrupt, then they would have a constitution with laws and blind justice instead of just self interest and desire.

Putin just reacting to the numerous acts of war the US bribed Zelensky into committing, like murdering ethnic Russians, stealing oil, violating treaties, trying to put NATO nukes on Russia's border, cutting off negotiations, etc.

You can blame globalism for the problems facing US workers

and the solution is less government rather than more government

 

[Rigby5]

Of course not. Authoritarianism is all about minority rule. One determined leader, a few oligarchs and a gaggle of useful idiots can absolutely murder democracy in short order. It's far easier to destroy than it is to protect.

The US has not been a democracy since about 1890, and I doubt Europe ever had a democracy.
Europe just has a more benevolent and intelligent oligarch than the greedy US oligarchy.
At least Europe is smart enough to provide public health care.

 

[Rigby5]

and the solution is less government rather than more government

Wrong.
The dangers of globalism are coming from multi national corporations, that can bypass things like safe and fair labor laws.
So then the only solution is LARGER government that does not allow unsafe and abusive cheating by countries still using slave or convict labor.
If instead you reduce government regulation of labor abuses, then we would have unsafe work conditions and slave labor in the US as well.
That is backwards.
We need universal labor regulations, not to eliminate labor regulations.

Why would anyone think that we can trust private, for profit corporations we have no say over, more than representative leaders we actually vote for and choose?
The only reasons we can't trust our elected leaders more is that they are being increasingly bought by the wealthy corporations.

 

[Rigby5]

Nope. We didn't buy oil from Russia until Trump put sanctions on Venezuela.

And putting sanctions on Venezuela was also illegal and immoral.
The US government has no authority to dictate what is essentially personal political beliefs.
And economic sanctions of civilian goods violate the Geneva Conventions.

Trump was just being spiteful.

 

[Rigby5]

Well... we're talking about the defeat of Right-Wing Populism in France, aren't we?

Your Orange Baboon-God is merely the American flavor of that same Right-Wing Populism.

So, in a very real sense...

--------

What some of you right-wingers don't seem to get nowadays, is, that there exists a great many Indies and fence-sitters that ya'll need, in order to win...

Many of whom find the Rump agenda attractive in-whole or in-part...

And yet they voted against you last time.

Why?

Because your former Standard Bearer has proven himself unfit for high office and has violated his sacred trust and his Oath.

How to fix that state of affairs?

Fire your Standard Bearer and choose another who is capable of advancing The Agenda without the idiotic midnight tweets, egoism and incompetency.

Your old Standard Bearer turned traitor on January 6, 2021, and will not be forgiven by that larger percentage of the American electorate outside his base.

Time for ya'll to face reality and to begin taking serious steps to move forward into the future without your Failed Orange Messiah, who is now an albatross.

Or you can arrogantly and stupidly run him again in 2024, then deal with your even more devastating and humiliating loss on the morning of November 6th.

Much depends upon whatever intelligence and pragmatism and common sense remains to you beyond the realm of red-neck trailer trash and jingoism.

You miss the whole point, which is that populism like Le Pen and Trump are increasing, because there is no more left wing any more.
The democrats have allowed income inequality to skyrocket.
In the US we do not even have public health care.
It is not surprising Le Pen lost, but it is surprising the % of votes she got greatly increased, to 41%.
That trend appears very alarming to me.

 

[Mac-7]

The dangers of globalism are coming from multi national corporations, that can bypass things like safe and fair labor laws.

Listen to yourself

The danger of globalism is globalism?

absolutely

of course its multinational companies that operate in the global economy

it sure isnt mom and pop stores

globalism means that companies can operate in many places at once

and that harms American workers and at times the US economy

 

[postman]

Any halfway intelligent person should be against NATO and for Putin.

You have a point. It would take somebody only halfway intelligent to have that position.

Those of full intelligence are for NATO.

That is not a defense of your golden diapered god.

They hang on to every ray of hope they can dig up and find, even as they accept the fact that the midterms are going to be a disaster for them.

Elections are about contrasts.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Democracy in the hands of those who despise it is doomed.

America in the hands of those who despise it is doomed.

 

[Votto]

They hang on to every ray of hope they can dig up and find, even as they accept the fact that the midterms are going to be a disaster for them.

I don't think they care

They always seem to have just enough votes to do whatever the hell they please either way

It's like a miracle!

Trump got more real, living black voters than Biden
