Shades of our election.

"“We can’t really call this a choice,” Melenchon said. “The nature of the two candidates makes it impossible to come out of this with stability.”

A reminder that the extremes on both sides cannot be trusted.

1. Trust ought not to have to enter into it.

Until the public can reliably support a sustainable agenda, the media can always both-sides any story.

3. Don't fall for it, France!!! You've already been occupied by a foreign, hostile power, and you

fought back!! Keep your country free of this creeping rot!

4. What a "con fini."

This doesn't mean Mélenchon supports LePen outright, but it DOES mean he's happier with her as President of France than he would be with Macron.

Mélenchon should just "ferme" his fucking "guele," and then complain AFTER the election about whatever Macron is doing that he disagrees with (presumably everything). At least under Macron he'll still have the RIGHT to complain. With LePen as president, I'm less sanguine about that.

As a former socialist party member, Macron would be far more approachable for dialogue with the left than LePen. Rigid ideology will only put the French left in the dog house at this point. Of course, after their performance in power over the last five years, they can't claim they deserve much better.
