Help me guys I think this election is driving me insane. It's almost 1 AM and I'm here worrying about the impact that a dumb post on Facebook by comics artist Joann Sfar might have on his followers, and how it's crazy visible, and it might impact the election, and we need every vote

I'm also worried about this dumb narrative is spreading about how Mélenchon wants an alliance with dictatorships and so on and it's ugh

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.
How accurate is this article about Melechon and the French Left?

Pluskut Tukker posted:

Of course Syriza realised that switching currencies would be an economic disaster and they probably didn't have the capacity to pull it off anyway. I'm not sure if Mélenchon would see it the same way.

It still would have been better for Greece to drop the Euro than to stay on it. Keeping it just delays the inevitable.

I doubt the rest of that union are exactly pleased to be associated with Venezuela either but a group of small countries are still dependent on them and hinder their exclusion.

Chapter 62 of France Insoumise's program, where all this is coming from, doesn't say to join ALBA ffs. It says a "co-development" policy should be developed with Latin America and the Caribbean and says ALBA is an example of how this could be achieved. There are five former French colonies in ALBA, it makes obvious sense to me. But then again, I'm not a nazi.

Reminder: Maduro is not a nice guy but used homophobia in his election campaign (https://www.espiritugay.com/el-venezolano-nicolas-maduro-utiliza-la-homofobia-para-captar-votos/) and is currently cracking down on the opposition (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/09/dictator-maduro-thousands-of-venezuelans-protest-ban-of-opposition-leader).

Mélenchon's dumb poo poo are minor points in his program. For Fillon and Le Pen (and Macron, to a lesser extent), the dumb poo poo is their program.

His floor is probably higher than that when you consider that those are polls. Modern polls are conducted over the Internet because it's so much cheaper, and so they under-represent the population of reactionary geriatrics.

The abrogation of same-sex marriage, and the abolition of "public service" as a concept.

If it was just tax cuts, then he wouldn't have won the primary with such a margin over Juppé and Sarkozy.

Actually, the old school conservative candidate is Macron. If you go by the standards of 1960, Macron is traditional right, Fillon and Le Pen are extreme far right, Hamon is centrist, Mélenchon is left.
