Lefties and left-of-center people: Who do you support in the French election?

[Antonio the Sixth]

Hamon.

But if Macron made the runoff and I were French I'd yell things like "MON ROI EST VIVANT" in reference to him.

There are some good potential slogans in French:

Benoît, on y croit!
Benoît, c'est mon choix!
Benoît, on est tous avec toi!

And in Spanish, Hamon y Queso....

I'll get my coat

[Kingpoleon]

Hamon.

Is this in reference to his terrible French grammar, his use of Google Translate, or are you just now recognizing how utterly bizarre BRTD is?

"MON ROI EST VIVANT!" would make more sense in French, right?

The translation is correct. It's just even more cringeworthy to read it in another language.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

"MON ROI EST VIVANT"

France can fix that!

[peterthlee]

Macron, as he has the best ability to quash any attempts by the far-right demons to enter the Elysee Palace.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

"MON ROI EST VIVANT"

France can fix that!

Perfect case for electing Macron

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

You tend to think about this, from what you've said yourself, like it's a Democratic primary. Sanders lost, so you can get enthusiastic about Hillary, since she basically represents the same option. However Macron v. Le Pen would be more like Chirac v. Le Pen. It's not voting "for", it's voting "against". Oh yes, I could see myself being enthusiastic about voting against Le Pen, while still dissapointed it was Macron who qualified for the runoff (same goes for Fillon, of course). If Hamon is your Sanders, then Macron would be Susan Collins at best, preferable to Trump but still, not my cup of coffee.
