     @aral I am so relieved. As a French citizen, this was a pretty horrifying week, with a surprisingly delightful conclusion.

     @PeterMotte Sadly, the far right weren’t voted out. Le Pen’s party has the largest number of seats of any party (the others are coalitions). So they’ve made a historic gain even if they’re third overall.

     @aral I hope they voted far right out because they've noticed it's an alternative, but not a valuable alternative.

     @phonon @thelinuxEXP Yeah, but still… could have been far worse.

     (Can still be in as soon as a year if the neoliberals see this as a victory and keep with business as usual instead of seeing it as a last minute aversion of disaster.)

     @thelinuxEXP @aral can't be too satisfied looking at the popular vote numbers 🫠

     @aral also, hasn't Iran just voted a pretty decent dude as a president?
