They are both politicised wings of the state (rather than 'proper' political parties) allied with (and funded by) Capital. Despite this they both rely on groups that do stand for something when it comes to fighting elections. Additionally, there is remarkably little difference between elected members of either party in sociological terms; the same basic set of professions (and they usually are professions) dominate each party to an unusual extent.
While the 2 first points are different in France, the bold one is kinda similar I'd say, and that alone isn't a factor of personal attack and hatred here. There are flaws here, but at least that one is quasi not present I'd say.
