Marine Le Pen’s political future is cloudy for now, but Sunday’s rally in support of her took place under an impeccably sunny spring sky in an upscale neighborhood of central Paris, with temperatures nearing 20 degrees Celsius.
But despite ideal weather, the crowd didn’t show up.
That’s a fallacy, Democracy doesn’t mean “let any elected moron lead,” it means “leaders should encourage and further the democratic process,” to represent the best interests of the people. A Manchurian candidate is pretty much the antithesis of Democracy.
I’m not gonna say anything about Le Pen because I do my best to detach from shitheads beyond checking their legal status, but as a Romanian, I can say that Georgescu’s removal was a win for that very Democracy you’re talking about.

And that’s an obtuse and edgy fallacy. You do realise this wasn’t about the people “voting wrong,” but about the candidates themselves being demonstrated to have functioned based on false pretenses and hidden agendas while having Putin’s hand up their arses, right? Convincing people to vote based on lies and mass manipulation is about as far from anything to have ever been considered even marginally democratic. The result itself, thus, is undemocratic.
What you’re proposing is that Democracy should be as a herd of sheep throwing themselves off a cliff because, hey! The first one did it!
Cheap bait, m8. Like, really cheap, those worms are flaky…
