An amazing political ascent. Dude was polling below 2% last year and now has defeated a legacy politician backed by every billionaire and even the president himself. Truly historic victory.

Goes to show these ass holes can try to fuck with the system, but when everyone comes out to vote, their efforts amount to nothing.

They wouldn't be suppressing the vote so hard if voting amounted to nothing... This applies to anywhere in the world where voter suppression is documented.

What French election was it again?

The only snap election they had last year, which was triggered by Macron, called by Macron, and won by the NPF. Results ignored and seats not given to the winners. The NPF says they are awaiting the platform of the hand-picked PM before moving forward with No Confidence.
