    Everybody else in the world is like “Holy shit the French beat the Nazis, that’s some pretty good news at a time when it’s badly needed”

    Not the New York Times though. They’re mad because it means “gridlock” if the Nazis are gonna be obstructed on what they wanted to do and the left is gonna get a say in government again

    I suggest that we take the cubby that was left unfilled after the gradual retirement of “Russian Warship go fuck yourself” and fill it with “New York Times go fuck yourself”

      It‘s not so surprising that the NYT does not know what a proper democracy looks like. They‘re American after all and never experienced one.

      The anti left media blitz before during and after this election has been nothing short of disgusting. You’ve got people from a party actually founded by Waffen SS accusing the left of being anti-Semitic (because guess what, they’re not wholly approving of the genocide in Gaza). No fact check no push back just straight up “plutôt Hitler que front populaire”. They don’t even hide their shame anymore.

      Remember, in America, the New York Times is part of this notorious “liberal media” I keep hearing so very much about…

      Gee, it’s almost like they expected Macron to hemm, haw, deliberate, and 12 other words for “stall”, but ultimately make the hard, difficult, bitter, but undeniably necessary and honourable decision and join Le Pen in the government, you know, for the good of the nation.

      And then the godless fucking commies RUINED IT ALL!!!

      i thought it was funny, you could feel how stunned mainstream media seemed, like struggles for words, usually everybody has pretty much the same framing, here it was all over the place. Communism is scarier to them then fashism.

      Ok then rebut The NY Times screen clip by explaining how the next prime minister will be chosen. What is the coalition that will choose them.
