1. Inflation is especially bad in countries where the

person in charge when the pandemic began purposely ignored it and it got so bad the govt had to send billions to the citizens.

i.e. USA

2. Because the majority of voters know competence when they see it

Just like in 2020.

5. Sadly I have more faith in the people of France

than in my fellow Americans.

7. As do I.

Putin is not popular with most French people, and Marine Le Pen was clearly Putin’s pal. Trump loves Putin and still praises him, thus the Trump cult loves Putin and many in that cult do not care what Putin does to Ukraine. All they’re concerned about is purging black history, erasing the rights of women and LGBTQ, preserving the privileges of white people, and eliminating fair elections. Far too many in the US have no understanding of the implications of taking rights away from certain people because they think a dictator will always be on their side because they’re white.

8. The French are not Americans

We have dumbass voters, non voters and those undecided idiotic voters. And a broken electoral system

10. Quad-fecta

9. Media today is just follow the leader even if it is wrong.

Or especially when it is wrong. FTM. Fuck the media.

11. France doesn't have a senate where the smallest rural province has the same number of senators as

as Paris.

12. Hasn't Biden tried to bring forth an immigration bill? Or have the Democrats

offered to work on the issue with Republicans?

[TheProle]

13. Kudos to Macron

and the French people for keeping Le Pen at bay, but it's probably worth noting that turnout was at its worse in 50 years.
