Jean-Luc Mélenchon came in third, with 20.1% of the vote, according to projections by Ipsos-Sopra-Steria for France Télévisions, Radio France, France 24-RFI-MCD, Public Sénat-LCP Assemblée nationale and Le Parisien-Aujourd’hui en France.
Well it’s a shame because now the debate for the 2nd round will be as stupid as ever. At least if Mélenchon got here we may have envisioned to have a talk about capitalism and feminism and deep racism in the heart of our society.
Buuuuuuuut to see the positive side of the argument, at least we won’t have to argue against a tyrannical old man in a suit (who used to be from Parti Socialiste and is still an unashamed soc-dem who does not support revolutionary movements) and his hordes of middle-class bobos who get triggered any time you make a political critique that’s not aimed at a right-wing party.
