When the american liberals use France's election as an illustration of the need to VOTE, they ignore that people were not only voting against the far right but *for* something.
They voted for a campaign which promises to: increase minimum wage, lower retirement age, pay for all childcare, etc
American libs seeing the french center party lose 80 seats, almost hand the country to fascists, and get bailed out by a strong Left coalition Macron opposed the whole time: "This is why you need hold your nose and vote for centrists"
