    Oh I was not talking about left + Macron center (ensemble) but only the left.

    The left parties did form a global one, le Nouveau Front Populaire, and I was just referring to that. The left was in shambles between LFI, PS, Les verts etc, a bit of all for themselves. LFI taking the most seats from what was historically le PS (former president Hollande party).

    But after announcing the dissolution they managed to be friends again in a very short time. That what was said by that lemmy user.

    Macron center was not included and will not be. Stepping down when 3rd to avoid that or that party is nothing new for us, more like a “gentleman agreement” except that this time it was more important than last times.

      I think it was a great idea to force a stale despite the forthcoming troubles of setting a government. In some ways it is similar to the American election by turning it into a vote for or against right wing extremism regardless of who is representing the left side, but I can’t see the American democrats having any similar options available.

      On the other hand it’s kind of sad having to force an election to be limited to a two choice vote. Block politics or single issue politics are usually not good for democracy. Unfortunately it’s happening everywhere. People are turning more extreme in both directions based on their Facebook feed…

        Ah the facebook feeds… I am considering using the fediverse left beard Linux dudes to make an army of leftist devs/sys admins etc.

        Use the same tools as the extreme right (like boting) to flood Facebook, Twitter etc with leftist views and positives stories.
