        I don’t know about French politics in particular, but in all democracies pretty much, sometimes there’s just not a better option.

        Only ~65% of French people have voted on the first round, and only 27.84% voted for him on the first round. So it’s not representaive of " people". And if your asking why so many people didn’t vote, it’s beacause the working class and the younger people are desperate and think that in any case the future president, whoever he is, will do nothing for them (which is kinda true).

        The second round opposed him to a facist. We voted against the facist. The first round was won because of different factors including extreme PR from macron (with often false promises) and vote fragmentation of the left wing

          So you have a political elites that is completely divorced from the people they govern?

          I feel like France has solved this before.

      if we let him do it then we are for something. We voted for him and we knew. When I write (“we” it’s the French not me)

        You don’t know how France works. And you think we let him do what he wants ? We’re just fucking tired of always fighting. And I hope we’re close to the final fight.
