My concern is we're seeing a pattern unfold of someone getting in, things getting steadily worse and Le Pen inching closer and closer to the finish line with each election until she finally wins it.
Well, they've already backed her three times and she's doing better on her third attempt than her second.sure, that's possible. but how long do people keep backing a losing horse in a race?
Plus ca change, innit? Like the Bernie Bro's who voted for Trump, or the bitter Corbynites who've already got champagne on ice for when the Conservatives win the next general election...the other far-right candidate was doing better than her for awhile, to the point that her own daughter quit her campaign and went to work on his. not sure what changed. but she's started to get the tag of a perennial loser, surely this will be the end of her presidential quest if she loses for the third time.
turns out the kingmaker is the far-left candidate who finished a close third. he's told followers they shouldn't give one vote to le pen, but also hasn't endorsed macron, which means many of his followers might just stay home on Election Day. and a certain segment of far right and far left overlap in what they stand for. gonna be interesting, NATO would certainly be screwed if she wins (considering she's friends with Putin and has taken lots of Russian money).
That said, Macron does seem to have made a substantial lurch to the right, so it's not hard to see why French progressives are hacked off with having to choose between him and Le Pen.Plus ca change, innit? Like the Bernie Bro's who voted for Trump, or the bitter Corbynites who've already got champagne on ice for when the Conservatives win the next general election...
Imagine if someone tries it with Harry one day.
