    The second round opposed him to a facist. We voted against the facist. The first round was won because of different factors including extreme PR from macron (with often false promises) and vote fragmentation of the left wing

      So you have a political elites that is completely divorced from the people they govern?

      I feel like France has solved this before.

        Pretty much. Problem is, the solution you’re thinking of is no longer applicable when you can risk serious injuries, lifelong handicaps and even death for simple protests due to the current police brutality happening right now. The people is not as desperate as in 1789 when there was a huge famine, we still have things to lose.
