THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right:
"Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."
The situation here is we have no data suggesting a bunch of back room deals to get some other candidate would be better, but we do know from history that it generally isn't a great alternative
What candidate do you think would be better on isreal/Palestine who would be more electable in the US? Besides, there is no world where Harris isn't the replacement. And the whole process would cause more division.
Contrasted by a country squabbling over whether 90 bad minutes should lead us to try a variety of steps that have never been attempted in the history of the country to hopefully prevent the anti-democratic party from taking power. Because this is the best time to try something like that, obviously.
This more show what a better world we should be if in 2000 there was a two round system in Florida and NH. A protest vote could mean something without throwing your vote away if needed.
