Oh yeah this is much more a story of Macron’s negative political instinct and a massive fumble by the far right with a wide open door as a path to power. This is a HUGE rejection of the far right

i want to believe but ive been so broken by the crushing of the yellow vest and retirement protests that nothing short of a revolution will give me hope... I'm still happy the far right got their asses handed to them after months of media circus

He tried to imitate Pedro Sánchez, but he didn't realize that Pedro's instincts are out of this world.

tbf pedro bungled his first few tries at snap election, and he never got what he wanted which was an absolute majority, ended up having to do what he didn't want which was letting podemos into the government

Podemos/sumar doesn't even behave "badly", they hang out with psoe and make cheesy speeches

It doesn't matter how rejected they are, history is proven they're willing to coup governments ruled by people too cowardly to oppose them.

Time will tell how this will turn out.
