I want to say, I'm French and this is reassuring. Sure it's not a massive victory for the left, because New Popular Front is full of succdems, but it's actually a massive defeat for the far right and the media who support them. It's cool that their demonizing of the only truly anti-racist party (LFI) didn't work. It's also a small defeat for the neolibs who are just in the low phase of their cycle of holding power.

We'll see if fuckhead president will choose to take full power and rule alone or take a succdem imperialist prime minister and continue business as usual

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

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
