Later today I'll go see my father and try to convince him to vote for Macron. Ugh. It's not an easy sell, and not one I want to make. But I see abstaining as a dangerous if morally satisfying choice. Cowardly in a way, not wanting to get dirty while hoping enough people pick up the slack only to be then called out as traitors

Fred, I hear you brother. But a one but le pen
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:08am
fred:

@Brian: I don't know, turnout will be key: Le Pen voters will definitely show up, but on the left there is a big feeling of being played for fools and not wanting to give Macron what he will call a mandate (also some on the left want Le Pen to win to shake things up and get people in the streets, of course they're not first in the line of fire there, and probably won't get in those streets)
