President Macron betrays Left Wing progressive coalition that helped him win; appoints Conservative Prime Minister

[At30wecashout]

Should be mandatory viewing. Centrism has a nasty habit of “both sides are bad so lets reach a middle-ground” and that middle favors the right

Never transformative, often regressive, sometimes stays in place. Anyone hoping for progress gets completely shyt on in the process.

Let's be real though centrism is fine when you are on top. Once your competitive edge becomes in danger then only then do people really saynok something gotta change. If the optics globally did not paint the picture that USA being number 1 isnat risk the avg person wouldn't care and it would be business as usual.

If they lose again, and lose midterms there probably will be a massive restructuring.

This republican party is not the same party where a guy like George Bush would be elected in. His comments after 9/11 where he said "Islam is a religion of peace" and refused to stoke hatred of Arabs and Muslims would make him a weakling in today's neofascist republican party.

They need a fresh start. One that taps into their heritage of Lincoln and focuses on restoring the things people actually liked.

Breh that never happing it too late the corporate lobbying money loving republican politicians along with the evangelical and right wring billionaires won't like something like that happen.

Seriously the entire West going to Conservative shyt outside of America.

Once again, we're going to lead and once again those European countries will have their hands out for us to bail them out down the road after the Far Right screws them over.

They'll eventually put pressure on Kamala/Walz to help them out for going fascist, watch.

Time to tell them to fix their own problems caused by buying into the Far Right hoopla.

Those people have done so much damage to progress the last 50 years

UK has gone left while Europe goes right...

Don't forget it's the US which pushed for a lot of f*ckery in Europe

Anglo-debt drove the rise of Adolf and they were cool with him when he was bodying Soviets

Wait they have a president AND a prime minister?

In the French presidential system, prime ministers are basically vice presidents

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

When you look at countries like Italy, Hungary, Sweden, etc. Yes.

Can you imagine Kamala Harris running in Czech Republic?

Are you fuccin high?

The President appoints the Speaker of the House. Prime Minister in France is different than Prime Minister in UK.

i'm glad to see kamala betraying progressives here, too. they're a goofy, embarrassing clown show

the center and swing voters will win this election, not a bunch of purple haired fakkits on the left, who think that palestine is more important to the average voter than gas prices

The lack of knowledge pertaining European politics and the ridiculous comparison of an entire continent to a singular government is on code for a myopic worldview and lack of contextual understanding when it comes to history but

(a) The UK just elected a centre left party into power and (b) many of these right wing parties are as centrist as the Democrats.
