This bold, rash, emotional unprecedented political gamble will work for us! How it works out:

Breaking News: Early returns in France suggested that a political gamble by President Emmanuel Macron backfired as the far right led in the first round of snap legislative elections.

French Far Right Scores Big in a First Round of Voting, Polling Suggestswww.nytimes.com A surprise decision by President Emmanuel Macron to hold a snap election appears to have backfired badly, giving the National Rally a decisive victory, early returns showed.

And yes there is a lesson here for the current discourse

thank goodness Macron is young though

I don't think it's a coincidence that the people going hardest for replacing Biden are people who think Biden has governed too far to the left & despise the party's left wing. They're hoping they can run someone who will be more appealing to would-be Trump voters. Thus Kamala's ready exclusion

And they seem to be ignoring that, according to polls, Trump’s decisive support is coming from making inroads with young minorities.

Can't wait to hear "Young minorities prefer Trump to Harris because Trump is a criminal & Kamala is a cop"

“I took a calculated risk, but man, am I bad at math.”

A lot of that going around lately.

The Brexit referendum was another of these

He thought this was a way to force the Rally into putting up or shutting up before they were ready. Now the only way out is someone (maybe not his guys) in coalition with New Popular Front, and that still means the Rally are now cemented as the right-wing mainstream party. Piss.

Between this, Italy, Slovakia, and the Netherlands all in the same year, all with Orban stinking the place up, I hope Labour can get the UK back into the EU as a counterweight to these shitheads. Do I want us outside the regulatory block we have to go along with and THEY'RE in? Bollocks I do.
