Why is it that all the coverage I see about France’s elections is about her? Is Jean-Luc Mélenchon the competition? He’s the only other person by name I’ve seen by causally reading about this topic.

    Directed lobbying and funding. Big money talks, everyone else is silenced.

    Every plutocrat on Earth is financing fascist propaganda and candidates. It's not a coincidence that they're all going mask off at the same time, or that every capitalist "democracy" is failing to acknowledge or respond to the threat.
