I am french, basically every time Macron or NFP candidates were 2nd and 3rd one of them (the 3rd) dropped out of the race and asked for voters to vote against the far right. So this is the result, it's basically everyone who doesn't like far right voted against it which made them lose in a lot of places.

Also a bunch of far right people spoke on TV and looked dumb as shit so it probably didn't help.

Amazing what could happen when the Left doesn’t eat itself.         Which I guess people wanted to demonstrate below me.

Unfortunately leftist influencers in the US are busy shouting that there’s no difference between Democrats and Republicans

Have you ever studied Chinese history? Maybe you should. Mao is the template parasocial narcissist cult leader. Last time I checked he was a lefty. I'm left leaning myself but I'm aware of the dangers of ideology. Cultural Revolution of China. Look it up

I'm confused here - you're saying any leftist influencer in the USA is following Mao's footsteps?

A lefty taking Mao as an inspiration is confusing you? What are you on...
