2017 French Presidential Election

[ApatheticAustrian]

Antono: Would you consider voting for Melenchon, if he continues to poll around 3rd, to maybe have a leftist in the seccobd round.

I think any leftist should vote, for the left-wing candidate most likely to make the runoff, before that would mean supporting Harmon, now Melenchon.

I think any leftist, and anyone for that matter, should vote for who the hell they want.

[ApatheticAustrian]

if 4 politicans are at nearly the same level and the polls are constantly under-representing melenchon's numbers/fillon's numbers, macron supports could have gotten a wrong picture.

[ApatheticAustrian]

i would have grudgingly voted for fillon before, at this point he is kind of the archetype of all corruption-infected politics.....hard decision between fillon or non-voting.

[ApatheticAustrian]

so.....melenchon has taken enough le pen/macron voters that fillon is back even while his reputation is soooo finished.

perfect end to a nightmare.

[ApatheticAustrian]

 Considering he has practically no competition for his niche,

i am not sure if the EU topic is the most important point of this election inside of france.

[ApatheticAustrian]

macron looks safe again...all others are question marks.

[ApatheticAustrian]

russia is THE global anti-left/anti-progressive/anti-liberal and anti-democratic superpower of our time, and they are spreading their ideology by all possible means.

[ApatheticAustrian]

the too late thing is pointless, there just have been much worse terror attacks in france anyway.

[ApatheticAustrian]

ISIS is such a joke at this point.

no one really believes anything they say anymore.

[ApatheticAustrian]

if macron fails, it is not cause of the terror attack, but cause fillon's voters were shy to start with and macron's voters didn't care enough.

[ApatheticAustrian]

in fact le pen's vote is totally uninteresting.

fillon's and macron's voters are the real deal.
