They gonna vote for rancid ass people and then blame it on us for looking down at them for voting for rancid ass people.
This is why I can't stand le intellectual rural vote understanders,
They have no reasons, they have no causes, they have no explanations or histories, what they have is a blind hatred of anything outside their own horizon, and a ballot they'll cast for whatever rancid ass person makes them feel the most like they'll get to express that without being rightfully called out as a bigot.
We've tried to reach them on class consciousness, and they asked "but can we still say the N-Word?"
-
They especially have a intense hatred for immigrants and minorities that they, as rural dwellers, have never even met.
-
Rural people are scared to move to the urban areas where life is actually happening, so they have a special resentment towards people who are brave enough to not just move into the city but do it in a new country with a new language and culture.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
French President Emanuel Macron announced Sunday he was dissolving the National Assembly and calling a snap election after his centrist alliance was trounced by the far-right National Rally in the European Parliament elections.
"I've decided to give you back the choice of our parliamentary future through the vote.
I am therefore dissolving the National Assembly," Macron said in an address to the nation.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated...

Did Melenchon's candidacy crumble? Is there any clear party leading among the left right now? Is it possible Macron won't make it to the second round?

What the fuck ? Quoi la baise ?
Looks like that at best France won't have a majority, at worst we'll have Ms Le Pen as a Prime minister (France is a semi presidential regime, and if the President doesn't have the majority, most of the power shifts toward the prime minister, with a president only relevant for international policy)
I don't know what kind of 4d chess he thinks he's playing. Is he hoping for the silent majority to rise up against the FN and vote for his party, does he bet on a coalition after the elections, is he ragequitting, or something else entirely?
Le Pen's party polls strong but has few allies. My guess is that Macron hopes that even with his party weakened, he can form a broad coalition that would keep Le Pen out. I have no idea how likely that is to work.
Could be a good idea? If the right wing parties won due to low turnout from normal voters then it might be a good idea to call the election while it’s still fresh in everyone’s minds.
I guess he hopes Le Pen will do worse than she did in today's vote.
Ragequitting or very ballsy move.
One theory some analysts say is that since Macron's second term ends in 2027, and since it's his last, if the FN doesn't govern well, then his party might be able to win again.
Basically, they're saying that Macron is playing a dangerous game of chess.
Ah, the good old von-Papen-maneuver. This time it will work for sure. What could possibly go wrong?
I agree with this theory. The public opinion changes very fast in France, it is risky but could work. Besides, the far-right would have kept rising till the presidentials anyways.
