Hundreds of thousands of people are marching against the far-right in France today, as the far-right has never been so close to power.
Images from Paris’s March, where a lot of signs are focusing on demanding that left leaders stay united to counter the far-right:
Left Coalition now has platform. Includes:
—rollback Macron retirement reform & cuts to unemployment benefits
—↑ min wage
—↑ daycare spots
—repeal Macron immigration restrictions
—bring back wealth tax & exit tax
—carbon neutrality plan
—200K public housing/year

Anyone is “fine” to be when the alternative is the far right- l am not French but if l were, l would vote for whatever is NOT Le Pen, especially in the run-off.
The beauty is that there are multiple choices! Unlike USA where we often have bad and worse, in France you might luck out and get to vote for someone good. Just saying that it's not a binary, most voters can pick from people who are both not-fascist AND not-fascist-enablers.
