But currently you aren't and the options are damage control or burning the house down...
Well, how well did the damage control strategy go lmao
The strategy went well as in the NFP (leftwing coalition) got a plurality of the votes.
The issue is that the ruling party (En Marche) said fuck it and allied with the fascists.
I meant in the US, sorry
Well not good either ^^`
This trend of backsliding democracies truly is terrifying.
Great point. If Americans don't like their options, they should spare a thought for French progressives holding their nose and voting for Macron, over and over and over.
Uh... LFI had wide popular support to the point of being the most voted, what on Earth are you talking about?
Eeeeeeh I'm not going to compare Macron and Harris. She's not been a stepping stool for the R again and again and again.
I was referring to our last legislative election (think Congress if you need an American point of reference). It happened last summer and Left wing voters had to make a coalition up to the socialist party and the greens which are our centrist parties.
She's campaigning with Mike Bloomberg, Jeff Flake, and Liz Cheney. I've seen nothing to suggest she's learned from Clinton or Obama in this regard.
