   I don't want to be a downer, but: the far-right National Rally doubled its number of seats in the National Assembly. The French election was not the catastrophe it could have been, but that is still a big move in the wrong direction.

     @evan@cosocial.ca Exactly.
     There is relief, yes. The National Front (fuck its new bullshit name) didn't win. The Left has shown that it still could win, despite the constant right-wing propaganda in the media. But the fascists are here and here to stay. There is nothing to celebrate on the national scale.
