What do you think will happen when reforms like even more austerity make the standard of living even worse especially for recent uni grads?

Voting for the Hillary like Macron was basically kicking the can down the road.

I ran the google maps eyeball test in some of the heaviest Le Pen areas like Aisne and the north part of Haute-Marne and they don't seems nearly as visibly lovely as just about any part of rural America.

If affluent people were more likely to vote for Macron and poor people more likely to vote for Le Pen, doesn't that mean affluent people tend to be better than poor people?

no, it means the people with money can gain more money so they will vote the way that gains them more money

it also mean that the people without money can gain more money so they will vote the way that gains them more money

Capitalism will never die because the alternatives area all worse and everyone's lives will be better when people stop trying to get people to do something they don't want to do and instead focus on fixing the worst excesses of the system.

i mean I guess you guys can be happy about france having the choice between banker and (further) inevitable wealth concentration to the top and a fascist and making the correct decision while the US managed to gently caress even that up. more like capitalism will never die because the alternatives are all worse and everyone's lives will be better when political parties actually serve as the will of the people rather their cadres of rich people

capitalism sucks rear end but it's one advantage is that it can actually somewhat function while hilariously corrupt
