Will Melechon's voters be willing to vote for economic nationalist Le Pen or will they vote for neolib Macaroni to save muh democracy?

Last time they didn't flock to Le Pen, so I wouldn't be too optimistic. This election it might change though, we'll see.

I think Macron will win, albeit very narrowly.

I think most of them won't vote.

Honestly, a significant portion might vote for Le Pen. She is for economic nationalism and reindustrialization of France.

Sure.

To be honest I'm not too optimistic about the election. I'd recommend not getting your hopes up. Her comments about Ukraine and Russia have in my opinion fucked her. The propaganda machine surrounding Ukraine is too powerful in the minds of the average westerner, and her momentum has been capped. That said, if you can in anyway influence the outcome in terms of getting out voters or changing any minds in France, work your hardest, if you think you're able get on french social media forums or websites and work on there if you aren't from Western Europe. If this does end in a loss for LePen, then it's best we look at it realistically and don't sink into pessimism from the inevitable parasites gloating on sites like reddit and twitter. Look at where she went wrong, what she did right, if you can apply it to whatever political cause you are engaged with. There's a saying jews have, “Pessimism is a luxury that a Jew can never allow himself.” Given their power and success, we should adopt it too.

A Macron victory isn't a disaster. He's by far the most competent Western leader.

He's by far the most competent Western leader.

Lol

So, basically, Le Pen could have had an almost assured victory if not for Zemmour? How is that theory of Zemmour sabotaging RN wrong?

[–]EthnocratArcheofuturist[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This is false. Zemmour mostly took votes from Pécresse, not Le Pen.

Hopefully they don't find a way to bump Mélenchon to second place

She has vastly increased her potential electorate, while Macron's potential electorate has shrunk.

Did that come at an ideological cost for her?

[–]EthnocratArcheofuturist[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No, just a PR stunt and Zemmour acting as a lightning rod.
