that 58-42 margin is rapidly dwindling and le pen is the only candidate whose numbers are improving, because french voters want security

"let the boomers die" isn't a viable strategy in france. well, it isn't anywhere else either, but especially not when the young generation leans fascist

I think we need to put this in perspective. When you say bad, do you mean 'bad', or US bad?
le pen strikes me as trump if he knew what he was doing

The best bet for the Labour left is to use a centrist to get into power, then attempt to manipulate them from the backbenches and cabinet.

i haven't watched J/O since mid-2015 when he stopped making efforts to be funny and yet he somehow gets worse every time i hear something about him

not 100% election-related but neo-nazis imitated an ISIS attack against Borussia Dortmund to foment anti-immigrant hysteria
