If the projections are correct, though, Marine doubles her father in runoff percentage. A nice boost, perhaps someone less hated with a similar anti-EU sentiment will be able to take it all the way to a win. | ||

In that context buying a house, especially in today's economic situation where whole regions can decay over a few years can mean that you're sitting on a huge amount of debt and dead weight. Especially when you're older being close to public services, living in some communal way or whatever might be better than sitting around alone in a giant house. Germany is kind of peculiar in a way because our vocational system and decentralisation has prevented this to a degree, but in countries like the UK or France and much of the US small towns and that kind of organisation doesn't really work any more. Having high population density is too important nowadays. The ultimate result is that despite nominal increases in wealth, quality of life takes a nice, solid drop. No wonder people are displeased as a rather small sliver of folk are saying "it's all good guys why are you complaining?" | ||

Please... Youtube is nothing next to traditional medias (proof being that it was the first TV debate that made him start his remontada), and he was bashed non-stop in those as soon as he threatened to reach the second round (before that they could be positive/laudatory because he was below 15%). You cannot possibly compare the media handling of Macron and Mélenchon. Edit: in fact he was forced to use those alternative medias precisely because mainstream ones are often hostile to radical left politicians, and ask you dumb questions, or compare him 24/7 to the Front National, etc. | ||

You cannot possibly compare the media handling of Macron and Mélenchon. Videos of his punchlines in the debates, circulating on social medias, are part of non-traditional medias, though. And even though some mainstream medias bashed him (mainly right-wing, though), they also gave him exposure, talked about his social media handling, about how thought-out his program was, etc. Macron got a lot of exposure from mainstream medias, more than Mélenchon, though overestimating the impact of a handful of Paris-Match or L'Obs covers is just like overestimating the impact of Mélenchon's YT channel or his FB militias. Of course Macron is mostly a well-crafted politician, though I have no doubt that future will show that he's a real master politician, in the best and worst meanings of the word. But acting like he's more of a marketing product than other candidates would have been anyway, or that other candidates would have had much more partisan support, or that Macron is a literal conspiracy from the Establishment (as if there was a single, unified establishment) is a bit too simplistic in my opinion. | ||

Reading your comments is like reading a mirrored version of the_donald Uhh we need people to sound like the_donald's twin brother to remind people the other side isn't any more sane than Le Pen ... just insane in different ways. If they hid their true colors and moderated now, the opposition wouldn't know how much they're hated. | ||

Reading your comments is like reading a mirrored version of the_donald I think it's perfectly okay to insult modern nationalists. If not fascist, they're too extreme. Moderate nationalist is another story, but I have yet to see this in the 21st century. | ||
