“Listen the only frogs I care about are Pepe’s” Vaush
Awesome! Got my first ghost Vaush ❤️
I always found it funny that french are called frogs when it is the dutch that live in old swamplands
@@megaazdog it’s funny you mentioned that since it was originally the Dutch and not the French that were called frogs lol
Having French president Macron play James Bond would probably piss off the British like nothing else before
That's why it's worth it.
"Marzini dry. Zhaken, non ztirred -- oui oui."
Hon, hon, mah name is...'ow you say...Bonh.
I was already off the rocker when james bond was supposed to be played by a black woman but Macron? Even Johnny English is a better Agent then this airheaded Buffoon
@@technicallythecenteroftheu1349
Allô mon nom ezzz bon, Zhaymes Bon.
He didn't even mention Mélenchon lmaooo
No Mélenchon? Cringe vid
As a non French person, has Macron in his campaigning even really mentioned Le Pen being a Putin lover? Sounds like that would be an easy issue to gain more support for the moment
Macron isn't making any campain, so no he did not mention it.
Elections in france play out wildly different than in the us so i would reccomend not looking at it through the same lenses
Every French voter knows previous Le Pen campaigns have been financed with the help of Russian loans allowed by Putin.
The only thing macron does is not being "far-right" (even if he play their game, specifically about economic policies and anti-islam).
He don't need to campaign because of how the french electoral system work, he is just the default choice because a little more than half of the population don't want a fascist as president.
@@Parpeing yes. In the U.S. your whole presidential term looks like a campaign pitch.
Why u didn’t speak about Melenchon? He’s a democratic and eco-socialist, heads up to 20% in the polls and stands a chance in getting into the second round and winning over Macron.
Forgive me, but I'm a bit skeptical. I remember how Melenchon managed to alienate the left AND the center at the same time in 2016. I don't have great expectations from him.
Sure, I'd love for him to win rather than the two ghouls currently frontrunning, but...
@@antonioscendrategattico2302 The left in France has been having some... difficulties cohalition-building the last couple of elections and Mélenchon's unwillingness to compromise has been one of the issues yes.
But he does currently have a shot, though small, of getting into the 2nd round. Not very likely sadly, but considering how in France there IS a 2nd round (unlike in some countries cough *US* cough), he's the best option for anyone left-leaning basically, since if he fails to get into the top 2 we're back to super-corporate lib vs fucking racist nationalists again anyway.
My main problem with melenchon (besides the nuclear stuff) is that he's an extreme jacobin, which is a strict no for me (i'm basically a single issue voter on this)
@@wordart_guian he is french what do you expect of course he's jacobin
might get to the second round but will get blown out against macron way worse than lepen for sure
I can't believe the Le Pens are still trying to this day, I pity my French brothers that these two people are their main choices
There is also Melenchon, an important far-left wing candidate Vaush didn't talk about.
@@pierredufour6164 yea but will he still be a choice in the second round, I think not
@@ItsMinarmy He has a chance, I don't lose hope.
@@pierredufour6164 its all we got brother
@@Parpeing Yeah...
Sounds like American elections to me
No wonder nobody likes the french
Except this time our Bernie has a shot
@@TMmodify LETSGOOOOO
and if lepen wins, well ill see you abroad comrad lmao
I'm sure Mélenchon lost because you didn't talk about him.
“A Manual Macron” I thought those only come in automatic
It amazes me that people are willing to vote for a puppet of Vladimir Putin.
In two countries no less!
Yeah they just elected Orbán is Hungary, for the the time in a row. A Pro-Putin far-right asshole in a time of Russisn aggression. Insanity.
"A baguette is running against a croissant idfk"
Jeanne au secours!
Macron is a conservative
Yeah, but I'll add to that a 'European conservative'. Here in Europe our mainstream conservatives are social conservatives. They'd probably be an American left-of-centre.
It''s very difficult to compare U.S/Euro politics, the American Left has moved into the centre, and the Right has moved into crazy town.
Dude compared to half of the people here f-ing Marx is a neolib.
@@leonchevalier Right now, the French political spectrum has moved right as well, in certain regards even past America's fucked up political spectrum.
Still preferable to Le Pen or Zemmour who are respectively implicitely and explecitely fascists as far as I'm concerned, but the worries around a second Macron term are very real and serious.
This aged well
vaush you should really make the chat background semi-black transparent. It is really difficult reading it on a white background.
So does this mean we’ll have a Vaushite as the French President
we have 11 candidates not two. I'm voting for the weird shepherd guy cause he speaks my language.
Unironically though, Lasalle the weird shepherd guy isn't that bad. His program includes taxing the rich more, less privileges for the elected officials, an emphasis on green energies, and overall taking better care of rural France. He also has a great track record of standing by his ideas.
What happened to the french left??
Is pretty vocal and marching in the street, there it was a massive protest in Bastille Day, but Macron cut that from the French media, but international correspondents could stream the protest online, Macron and Le Pen have lost all the elections in the local counties in the last mid terms, mainstream media is getting wet for a right-wing government, but is forgetting the tiny, tiny detail that most lefty parties form more than half of the chamber, meaning that they could do a coalition government, so this is not a lost of the progressive parties by any means.
The french left has split into 11 parties
I hope the French are smart enough to see LePen for what she is but... Damn if this isn't 2016 vibes. Except LePen is worse than Trump.
Well people see her for what she is : a far right candidate, and a good amount of people agree with her, that’s the thing.
Not all the claims of the far right are bogus in france.
This is one of the worst Vaush videos by far. Wtf dude. You don't have to talk about everything. Not even mentioning Mélenchon?! Why are you ignoring the leftist candidate?!
Vaush is a coward he is just taking about this to distract people so they forget he hasn't finished ranking all the pokemon.
I admit the end of that sentence got me to laugh out loud for real. Thanks for the needed relief.
I think they should add a parasite type pokemon so many real creatures they can turn into pokemone a tapeworm a bed bug. Moves like leach fit them. Zombie pokemon as in nature there is a zombie parasite that infects ants. strong against physic and fighting as they infect the brain and body weak to poison and cold as spores die from that
@@daraghokane4236 I want an alien type for Pokémon

@@daraghokane4236 would just be bug types see paras/ parasect
The pain of being French was already more than enough, but to be 17.999 years old at the time of the 2022 elections really pisses me off
I understand your pain, I was just too young by a year to vote in my country’s last federal election, between a union man and a corrupt puppet of the bourgeoisie who was all the talk about China but sold out massively to them.
I think you can guess who won, the latter, but his position has become so untenable that he surely cannot stand a chance this year’s election.
I am Australian by the way, it’s the cunt who had a kiddie fight with Macron, I respect the political history of the French, I wish Australians could learn the power of protest, and maybe we could teach you guys how to keep your left from collapsing after a media onslaught. lol
Feel ya, was 17 the last election that took place in my country as well.
In Norway you just need to turn 18 within the year the election is held.

Why, are you Naziphobic?
@@torgal5088 yes.
French politics is just insanely fucked
Macron is a bland centrist who isn't that great on social issues and is outright awful when it comes to economics
Le Pen is horrendous when it comes to social issues and she doesn't have any consistent economic beliefs and will say anything to get elected. That's what really concerns me. Unlike other figures in the French far right, Le Pen isn't stupid. She's toned down some of her more extremist rhetoric on social issues to focus on very vague economic populism. The only problem is that could actually work in her favour if French voters start turning on Macron which is very much possible
It doesn't help that the French left have been a mess for years and the most prominent leftist in French politics (Mélenchon) is far from ideal
So France is stuck with a divided and ineffective left, a mediocre centrist and fascists to varying degrees of extremism (Le Pen isn't even the most radical candidate on the far right)
Good luck France
As a french guy, this is a very good summary. Most people don't realize how deeply fucked we are, we are headed toward fascism just like America was a few years ago, but with none of the democratic safeguards to prevent it.
Thank you, at this point I'm considering moving to a different country in 5 or 10 years. Without a miracle I don't see how we can avoid becoming a far-right authoritarian hellhole.
What are the problems with Melenchon?
@@aquack9919 I don't actively dislike him but there's some things he's said which aren't great ngl
His position on NATO isn't good
He kinda praised Russia's intervention in Syria
He's said some ridiculous conspiracy theories and it's sometimes hard to take him seriously
He's said some questionable comments about Frances involvement in the Holocaust. Nothing outright antisemitic but questionable nonetheless
Don't get me wrong, he's still miles ahead of Macron and the fash candidates but there's just some things about him that many people (myself included) don't like. I kinda have similar feelings towards Corbyn. They're leftists, easily better than their opponents, but I wish they stopped being stupid sometimes
@@fivestarman5130 well politics is a show and the dude is definitly into theatrics (bit too much sometimes but hey, he amassed an audience)
but he does hold some very left leaning and good positions than us leftists will get behind without a second thought, and ecen faster over macron lepen or zemmour
“Good luck Weimar Republic”
I get the feeling Vaush might not like liberals too much, may be just me though.
Just you.
Tbh it's just him coping because leftists are always calling him a liberal.
Idk I got the understanding that he loves liberals.
If you got Vaush alone in a room without cameras he'd almost certainly admit to being a socdem
“Liberals are the wet paper tissue that is fascism’s giant hammer” was so close to being a great quote
Mélenchon has plenty of issues but he’s the only left candidate with any real chance of making it to the second round
also like
no presidential runner is issueless
for real though read his program, he has far more benefits than issues to have with if you are left leaning
His positions on foreign policy , Ukraine are cringe though
@@Lord-Pierre Yeah you're not wrong, but honestly, do you trust lepen's takes on foreign policies more?
of all the potential winners, he is by far the only one who would make a real move leftward
really hes the only one who wouldnt be straight up terrible, he has some issues but hes still the better option
and not even like in a "lesser of two evils" kind of option, this dude could really shake things up
@@Parpeing i am sorry but his take on nuclear are just too unaceptable
He wants an 100% nuclear free powergrid wich is just not doable in a country that has 80% nuclear
@@fabienso5889 yeah, its an impossible promise to uphold (at least during a 5 year mandate)
you realize all of his program wont get done, its just guidelines, its a talking point to get the people who would have voted green to vote for him
im not saying its awesome that hes doing it, but they all do it
at some point you have to pick and choose and having lived 5 shitty ass years with macron i choose not to again.
There are more than just these two candidates in the election. While all expectations are Macron vs Le Pen will be the final match up it's a little disappointing to not cover some of the other parties. Especially given that the last few elections have been a significant upheaval from France's historical norm (in terms of party composition).
But aren’t the other two candidates just conservatives, one trying to out right wing Le Pen and the other trying to get the center-right back in power. And the. There’s Melenchon who isn’t close enough get into the second round unless things changes rapidly these next few days.
@@ricardobarahona3939 that's not true at all. Mélenchon is far ahead of those two conservative candidates you're talking about (Zemmour and Pécresse) in the polls. Not saying Mélenchon will get into the second round (he might, but most probably won't, there's still a possibility though), but Zemmour and Pécresse are waaaaaaaaaay more unlikely to get into the second round than Mélenchon is.
I think Vaush was just scared of pronouncing Mélenchon
yes, even though french politics have been really about the president as a central figure like in the US since the 5th republic, treating this as bipartisan like it's a US election would be really dumb, or a really outsider perspective to say the least. french politics have never been as bipartisan as US politics from my perspective, there's always been more than two major political forces and it always led to significant alliance dynamics and recompositions, all the time. macron is just one example of that, and this also shows in polls of course.
not to mention that even though le pen is arguably worse than macron, the moderate left to the moderate right including macron have tried so hard to appropriate far-right talking points and to appeal to the anti-muslim sentiment for almost two decades that you just can't ignore that there's lots of concerns about them from a leftist perspective too. macron has nominated ministers and statesmen that have lots of fashy tendencies, and he himself has a few too. there's almost a kind of forced right-izsation at play from a large side of the political spectrum. i'd say it's a mix of actual beliefs and diversion strategies.
the left is still at play but it has quite a little media support and it's balkanized for a lot of historical reasons, but more recently partly because the PS (the first party macron was in) has exploded between its more actually leftist members and its liberal to fashy sides that had been more dominant in it since at least 2012. it collapsed both on its own because it has deceived (i'd say betrayed) the traditionally lefty voters and because macron has "hired" a significant portion of its more economically liberal and right-ish members. to compare it to the US it's almost equivalent to like the democratic party exploding. to a lesser degree the equivalent of the republicans also have been balaknized by macron's actions.
Exactly. In the past, other alternatives were relevant. Now the alternative to liberal politics is nationalism.
They used to disgard le pen and her father too
I wonder why a bunch of people in Chat started defending De Gaulle? Fighting Nazis doesn't automatically make you a good person, otherwise Winston Churchill would've been the spiffing gent that a lot of my fellow countrypeople seem to think he was.
There are right and left wing Gaullistes, he's very popular with the left nat Quebecois separatists in Canada too for a speech he gave in Quebec
@@JetsfanMrT He's still pretty fucked up for Algeria for example
Also, in France, several candidates have presented themselves as his heirs during these elections. I just think that at this point, De Gaulle is part of our national mythos: his more authoritarian side has been forgotten, and people mostly remember him as a national hero who fought the Nazis, and associate him to the fantasized "golden age" of the sixties. Like Joan of Arc or Napoleon, he's a national figure whose dead corpse can easily be used to score political points.
It's also worth noting that some of his political decisions can easily be looked upon favorably by the left: he put an end to french colonization, included some communists in his government, gave more powers to unions...
@@HerculeDevantrien Ah, so he basically is just the French equivalent of Churchill at this point (though slightly better, at least, as Churchill wasn't too fond of unions).
@@JetsfanMrT I've heard of that speech, yes. De Gaulle seemed do basically do whatever he wanted when it came to diplomatic situations.
When Vaush talks about France he is about on the same level of competence as Hassan when he talks about...well...everything.
YEP thats why i aint watching lmao
not worth the frustration
I find Hassan's takes to be more interesting than Vaush's on most subjects tbh...
TheScottforever *entertaining
@@TheScottforever entertaining you mean. The same reason I watched gamer rage comps.
Of course he just frames it as "liberals are the problem". He hears the yellow vests criticized him and he thinks that means anything.
As a frenchmen i will abstain from watching this video
also was at Mélenchon's rally yesterday and he was supposed to show up as an hologram but he actually came through in lille and it was fucking lit
I just looked that up and he did a rally in like a dozen places via hologram and that's kinda amazing actually.
@@MrxstGrssmnstMttckstPhlNelThot ngl i was kinda bummed i didnt get to see an hologram and make jokes about how hes probably alive in cuba that would go over my french friends heads
but i got to see his dashing 70 yo energy for realsies and we were all hyped to the fucking max
Why not the greens if you dont mind me asking
They seem less anti eu
@@Donu76222 The greens are not stupidly anti-eu like Mélenchon is, and they don't have the same history of weird comments and decisions (Mélenchon's sussy comments regarding Putin and other dumb anti-USA takes, very worrying speech about journalists...).
But on the other hand, Jadot (the green candidate) isn't nearly as left-wing and ambitious as LFI's platform, and I'm always bothered by the opposition the greens have against nuclear energy.
Personnaly I'm torn between the two, still unsure which one I'm gonna vote for. Sadly even Mélenchon has very little chance to make it to second round, so it doesn't seem likely that we will get anything better than Macron.
@@Donu76222 Greens don't stand a chance. The only left-winger with chances of making it to the second turn is Melenchon. That's why the French left needs to get behind him if they want a left-wing candidate on the second turn, independent of personal preferences.
Vaush if he ever debates Macron:
Wait, YOU ARE A F*CKING LIBERAL?!??
LAW! LAW!! LAW!!!!
Not even that much of a liberal, one of his minister called Le Pen "not though enough on immigration" and is in favor of cops having control over justice, so they can send anyone they want to jail.
Completely off-topic but I got a weird ad with a long bearded rabbi rapping to me about a story from the Torah in front of a green screen for like 3 minutes and it was kinda actually great. I felt I had to share it.
I think he was advertising a Jewish scripture podcast or something.

Or hidalgo which I agree with.
@@arielsasson3097 they're not the two other most important candidates. And how is Hidalgo to the right of le pen ?

As a French leftist, overall you got the gist of the election correctly however you really should of taken the time to look at Mélenchon, a socialist who actually has a chance at arriving to the second round to challenge Macronist Neoliberalism and stop Le Pen's fascism.
I keep forgetting you guys exist. I think Mélenchon has less than 20% of the votes in recent polls which is likely third. However, I don't believe he'll go too far, he stood against islamophobia which is like 70% of a French person's personality and is represented as the "radical left" compared to Macron picking his nose and Le Pen who is weirdly not receiving that much pushback for being herself.
@@mehdisilini7296 While it's likely he'll be third, I'm gonna keep my hopes up until we get the final results of the first round vote which is coming actually very soon. Mélenchon recently has been going through a very good surge in the polls so he could in theory pull it off and arrive to the second round hopefully.
EDIT: Welp, it's Macron vs Le Pen, this world really does suck
@@danzig2347 The real question is, if Melechon is actually a leftist, why could he not compete with clowns such as Le Pen and Macron? Are his policies shit? Was his strategy shit? He's doing something wrong, that's for sure.
Isn't Melenchon an anti-semite?
Hello, fellow French viewers. Thanks again for the support, Vaush. :)

do you realise that he isn't a leftist, right ?
why not Poutou if you really want someone who is a leftist ?
When exactly an election not a liberal vs a fascist.
Depends on how broad your definition of fascism is...
I mean just 10 years ago instead of the fascists it was like fucking Mitt Romney, so I’d say this is a pretty new worrying trend
In primaries. There, liberals face off against progressives. The fact that the vast majority of the people prefer liberals to progressives paints an ugly picture of the world.
Marine Le Pens abbreviation is "MLP" which is a funny.
I'm french and I have a leftist brony friend. Everytime the french news abbreviate Marine le Pen to MLP he dies a little bit inside.
LEMME TELL YOU ONE THING SHE AINT NO RAINBOW DASH LOL
Leftists acting like Macron and Le Pen are somehow indistinguishable are prime cringe. Also Blair is infinitely preferable to the Tory party in any form. Public and Social Services received some of the highest funding in UK history from '97 - '10.
Macron's better for sure, but then you also have stuff like Darmanin literally telling Marine Le Pen that's she's not radical enough
Macron isn't on the same level of dangerous fascistic conservatism as candidates like Le Pen or Zemmour, but he remains very much right-wing, and a danger for democracy as far as I'm concerned. During his years in power, we have seen an unprecendented concentration of powers within the executive branch of the governement, and more specificaly around the president himself. The French president was already too strong to begin with, and Macron made that situation even worse. Our counter-powers have been diminished to a worrying degree.
Regardless of who wins the election, there will be a real risk of the country moving away from democracy. The mistake many people made after Macron's election in 2017, myself included to an extent, was to not be wary enough of undemocratic reforms and tendencies under his governement, especially when it comes to the internal processes.
nobody said theyre indistiguishable
what leftists are you talking to, probably not french leftists because we know DAMN well the difference
like i said in another comment, its either a splinter in the eye or a column in the ass
Actually, leftist who don't actively kneel and kiss at the feet of every single corporate puppet who doesn't kick sand in there face is cool and based. I don't care if your "preferable" to literal nazi's, I'm still going to call you a dick head when you run on cutting welfare and entitlement's for the elderly.
I wonder if this person is a liberal
feels like this is a 2020 US vote situation, where you really just have one possibility to vote if you are a sane person, but its a bad one. The difference is only that France would have the possibility to nominate someone better, but cant cause the party system is a clusterfuck
As a french guy, I'm pretty much blackpilled on these elections. There is only one relevant left-wing candidate (Mélenchon, who still has cringy takes about quite a few things), while all the others are unelectable small candidates. The Socialist party, which used to be the main center-left political power, is ideologically bankrupt and dead in the polls. The right pretty much consists in different shades of fascism at this point, Le Pen being the most prominent one, but now we also have Zemmour, a commentator which has somehow worse politics and never even held office before. The traditional Republican party has lost his appeal and mostly parrots far-right talking points. And Macron is a shitty neolib who at best doesn't advance things and at worst actively sacrifices social policies for the sake of the economy.
So yeah, we have twelve candidates in the election, most of them are either shitty or have no chance to get elected, and in the end we found ourselves in a USA-style two-parties system where we have to choose between a literal fascist and a shitty lib.
Please vote. Politics isn't about getting what you want, it's about keeping out the people you don't. I know it sounds cynical, but it's in fact how these things work. The very nature of the world is imperfect, but we keep going, improving small things along the way. Real change is always incremental, which feels maddening in the context of our short lived lives.
To be clear I'd suggest voting for the person that doesn't want to dismantle the EU and plunge our free continent into russian dark ages.
Zemmour will save France

We're so fucked, here in France... Mélenchon lost, very sadly... we had 3 years to solve climate problems and he was the only one with an ambitious platform for this... He was really defending people, antifascist, and pro democracy etc etc... He had his fair share of problems, I agree, but really he was miles before any of the other two. But he was at 1% of being in the finale. Fing 1%. I hate television sometimes, who sold all the time the interests of the rich, playing for Le Pen and Macron...

@@Haijo84 france doesn't have a two party system. it kind of used to but the two party system crumbled during the Holland mandate, which is how Macron (a centrist) got into the spotlight.
As a French political science major, vaush is 100% correct. If you noticed him say something wrong, say what it is, or admit you don't know what you're talking about.
Not talking about Mélenchon an actual socialist even though he has almost the same score as Lepen and talking about about Zemmour... You should keep talking about america if you can't invite a french specialist.

Calling macron a liberal is a bit of a stretch also melechon exists
He’s a hologram just like his run in 2017, he’s a little crazy though which isn’t always a good thing considering certain supposed lefties then become more stubborn and insular like AMLO in Mexico and even Mel Zelaya in Honduras where my family is from. Unfortunately it still seems like the left is electorally behind the right mostly due to infighting and stubbornness..
Macron is not a liberal in the French meaning of the term, he is a full on capitalist with fascist flavor. But he is in the US meaning of it. If Hillary is a "liberal" Macron fits to a T.
11:11
I just love this moment
>Vaush talking about European politics
It's incompetents vs. active harm, but the harm element can lie to you.
I remember he had the French Overwatch team come to the Elysee Palace to wish them good luck before the World Cup a few years back, and I still haven't decided if that was cool (in recognising eSports as something worthwhile), or fucking giga cringe
Should be noted that in practical terms, Macron isn't a liberal, but more like a standard conservative. He is both economically and (moderately) socially right-wing, he just also happens to be pro-EU so people consider him a "centrist" since the Overton window is so far to the right in France. He constantly makes it a point to show off how he's been tough on Muslims and how he hates the "woke left," so calling him a centrist is inaccurate at best and malicious pushing of said Overton window at worst.
Not like the other candidates are better tbh of course, both Le Pen and Zemmour are Nazis, Melenchon strikes me as having gone mush-brained with egotism over the past few years (plus he's pretty questionable on Ukraine/Russia), and there aren't any other candidates which could even touch Macron. I genuinely feel like France is in the worst position politically among major EU nations right now.
The overton window is dumb and stupid.
Macron literally comes from the Socialist Party of France lol
He's not a conservative, he is a Third Way neoliberal centrist. The standard conservatives are the gaullists of Les Républicains. If Macron was a standard conservative like Pécresse (the candidate of Les Républicains), how could he possibly have taken half of the vote the Socialist Party got with Hollande (whom Macron literally served as a Minister of during his presidency) in the presidential elections of 2012?
To claim that all those millions of social democratic voters have moved to conservatism is completely nonsensical, they haven't moved to conservatism but to Third Way neoliberal centrism (which honestly isn't that far off from where Hollande, the most neoliberal socialist President France has ever had, already was during his presidency).
One thing Vaush's does not mention (and probably does not know since he is not french) is that the potential election of Marine Lepen is truly scary. Her party was founded by her father as a group that tied together a lot of politic groups that were antirepublican (like neofascists, neonazis, royalists, etc...). It was a long time ago but I do wonder how strong those ideas are in her party now. This could be (but probably is not) the end of the republic.
She might be the least extremist person in her party (she got called "soft on immigration and islam" by the current """centrist""" minister of interior) which means she'd get a lot of really anti-democracy people in power
Hon he hon, je suis Marine Le Pen
Hon he hon, Petain 'ad a point
Sad you didn't talk about Melenchon. He is a really good candidate.
*the only serious leftist canditate
He has a lot of problem honestly but its hard to think of someone else for the left.
@@igigor646 I'll be honest, the chances of that do not look good
I remember vividly the time when Sargon backed LePen and to find out she lost to Macron lmao
It is a shame Vaush didn't have a look a on the third of this election: Jean-Luc Melenchon. He is treally the French Bernie Sanders, and a very strong popular support and a program which I am sure Vaush would approve 100%: stopping liberal reform, strong ecological bifurcation, very strong on feminism and animal rights, etc..
Results of the election is already published for the Caribbean French isles: Melenchon got more than >50% in all the main islands + French Guyana.
Let's see the result for metropolitan France very soon...
He probably would've hated Melenchon's stance on NATO
@@rayquigley5696 Not sure. I think he said that NATO was good for little country to defend against big. But big countries like Germany and France being in NATO and therefore not investing in military, leaving US taking charge of everything, including the cost dont have his preference.
He's anti nuclear
Similar in germany. The AfD (far right party) is also acting very populist, but when you look into their actual proposals, they are even more capitalist than our liberal party.
That's what Fascism *is*
Yo, I might be mistaken. But do you guys think Vaush hates liberals?

I legit was a meme warrior who helped defeat Le Penn in 2017. That was the first time the alt-rigth tasted defeat. Between 2014 to 2016, they set all the narratives. That was the first taste of defeat they had. From there to Charlotsville, they started taking L after L after L it's almost like the complacency of getting Trump elected hurt the ethnostate momvement in the long run. But honestly I miss those days, at least the altright, while pure evil, was still pretty forward. The nazbol vortex is way more diabolical and cynical. And adept at hiding pretty much the same far right program via leftist buzzwords.

Melanchon was the candidate France needed. How sad. At least Zemmour did not pass.
John Oliver actually explained this really good a few years back

Why not mention Mélenchon at all lmao
I was supposed to go vote for the Socdem-ish candidate who has some chance of getting to the second round BUT I just got covid. So blame me for him not getting through.
Vaush, talk about the Philippine elections too
Four years ago, when I lived in France, I had great fun listening to y'all 'Muricans mispronouncing Macron.
This brings back good memories.
Me, an empath, sensing Vaush doesn’t like liberals
This is the first time I've seen openly French people in vaush's comment section that *didn't* get called names for being French
Question for French watchers: If Melechon made a campaign promise to hang Hollande, would that help his popularity?
hmmm nah i think hollande sunk into forgetfullness
now if he were to promise to hand macron, just might give him a solid push lmao
Nah, while Hollande wasn't popular at all, now he's regarded as an inefficient but mostly harmless dork who happened to rule the country for five years
Macron is pretty bad, but he is a strong advocate for European unity and integration which is extremely important right now, and for the future, he is also the only non-fascist option France has after the collapse of the left. So no serious people on the left should be fussing over support for him at this time.
If you think leftist should vote Macron you have clearly no understanding of France politics. Also the UE sucks.
A French leftist
He's a neolib and he took pretty right-wing people as ministre (Darmanin).
Wouldn’t ignore left-wing candidate Mélenchon in the first round, even if he has many issues and his chance of making 2nd place and advancing is quite slim. But if it’s Macron vs Le Pen, easily Macron
This is major cap, both macron and lepen are absolutely dogshit options for us, its like choosing between having a splinter in your eye and a column in your ass
people here don't get most french don't want to vote for the left anymore

But france already is social democracy. People in europe arent protesting for better social safetynets. They are protesting for better economic policy, more Jobs, better Jobs.

I've been asking for Brazilian elections for a long while now. Not happy.
If I remember correctly, Le Pen used the great replacement theory in a speech prior to Lauren Southern’s video on the Great Replacement so there’s that
"Liberal vs Nazi" aka average western election.
For example, tell me what the imf has done recently thats so bad?

because he never stood a chance. He was never even within the margin of error for any poll, he was never making the second round.
