Is he actually decent?
Isn't the French socialist party coopted by business?
Cameron Rodriguez
He has zero chance of winning but since he seems to be the French version of Corbyn I support him in his leadership role of PS.
Chase Ortiz
Any frenchie here that can explain the difference between Hamon and Menchelon?
Gavin Allen
Fillon and Le Pen will get to the second round in which case everyone will jump party lines to get Fillon into office
Julian Moore
doubt it tbh
Noah Bailey
As a brit, i have no clue, i know hes for universal income tho so hes good in my books
Jace Hernandez
Il gagne.
David Martin
I think the Liberals got too greedy. I imagine they figured they could get away with Thatcher as a candidate because everyone would be 'obliged' to vote for him over LePen, but this will come to bite them in the ass.
Xavier Myers
Universal income is a scam. It's just an excuse to privatize all public services and reduce the working class to a state of total dependence.
Michael Walker
He earns? He's in it for himself? I have VERY basic french so i cant really interpret slang
Oliver Long
hmm dont know about that, got any proof?
Gavin King
Ils sont stupides.
Jose Hughes
nah its over, we're done.
LePen is gonna get it.
Jonathan Diaz
He wins.
Levi Taylor
I thought we wanted Melenchon
Dylan Bennett
he's sort of in trouble for campaign finances right now i think
Connor Thomas

Thomas Robinson
It's just a smear campaign right? Or what
Gabriel White

Ryan Gutierrez

If anyone's our guy it's melenchon. Hamon's left, but Melenchon goes a bit further and has support from those left of the socialist party. Socialist Party is prolly gonna come last no matter what and Hamon is splitting votes from the left candidate, Melenchon. Don't even get me started on that fuckhead, Marcon
Ethan King
The contemporary "Socialist" Party is pretty much France's equivalent to the Dems.
Though Hamon supports a basic income and this could be good.
Nicholas Turner
Leave Le Pen to me
David Scott

Isaiah Garcia
Kek I thought the exact same thing. Being the "lesser evil" only works for the right, if it does at all, and I'd say this is mainly why:
Angel Edwards
Well, even though Hamon is more left than Hollande, the Socialist Party cucking themselves to neoliberalism is the reason why Le Writing Utensil and the FN is gaining popularity and attracting youth to nationalism, which is now reactionary and no longer beneficial to France
Owen Baker
But liberals are the right. This isn't the US where people have been brainwashed to believe that liberals are leftists.
Jaxon Jackson
they're far more left wing than the democrats
Austin Young
Unless there's a left alliance between Melenchon and Hamon, none of the left candidates will make it to the second round.
The populist right is too strong at this moment.
The left must build a united front.
Ryder Hill

Evan Mitchell
Melenchon is our only guy in France. He is Farther left and 5 points ahead from Hamon in the polls.
Josiah Scott
That's very unlikely.
Is he /ourguy/?
Of course not: he serves the bourgeoisie in the socdem way.
Not likely.
Prepare the revolution and don't waste time and efforts on bourgeois "democracy".
Anthony Young
...
Cameron Green
Implying the Socdems didn't vote him in, so Hamon splits the votes from Mélenchon and so Valls can't spoil the votes for Marcon, aka French Clinton.
Charles Powell
Third Way fuccboi
Literally the French Clinton.
Media's darling, that means his polls are shit and not trustworthy. Also portrayed by them way leftier than he really is.
He and Valls had the same platform. Now that Valls is out of the way, he could clutch 2nd place, if enough >I'm with Her morons are found among the French populace.
Sebastian Nguyen
Cherry on cake, Macron worked for Rotschild bank.
Isaac Allen
Ffs.
William Green
not defetist, realist.
lets face it, i see nobody able to stand up to her at this point, and she didn't even start her campaign yet.
she will wind the same way Trump did.
no viable candidate to vote for.
the fact that many people hole xenophobic views, Holla Forums is just the tip of the iceberg.
many people are assholes who just keep it to themselves because being an ass in public is (for the moment) still not advisable.
Brayden Wood
seems pretty accurate, politically speaking.
however he has an advantage over Clinton.
he's not despised by a large chunk of the population (we don't really know the guy), he is actually an outsider and isn't affiliated to any political party.
he is actually trending, people are curious about him and they want to know more.
Bentley Rogers
wasn't he minister of finance for the socdems before he jumped the sinking ship?
He was basically the third man behind Hollande and Valls.
Cameron Flores
he was, but surprisingly he's not a member of the party and nobody knows how and who is baking his political campaign financially.
clearly, the man has really powerful people behind him.
Camden Edwards
Way to go guys…
John Phillips
All UBI schemes proposed so far have been replacements for traditional welfare programs. It is a move away from the language of rights and towards a market based system that only benefits the very wealthy. The capitalists are not going to give you socialism. Stop begging them for it.
Owen Moore
We can't trust anyone from the """socialist""" party, they are all traitors
If Hamon is elected, wich is unlikely, he is not going to do anything
Robert Lewis
let's face it, she's gonna win because there is nobody else
