this is gold XD if only you knew all the jokes made about the holograms in frnech satire newspaper "Suprise: the hologram got more vote then Mélenchon himself and became president"

Cyamite No he is not a communist , he is a social-ecologist. The communist candidate is Nathalie Artaud(Philippe Poutou is from the far-left but he isn't communist , he is internationalist which is not exactly the same as communism).

Cyamite not at all! Mélenchon is from La gauche doesn't mean that he's communist. He wants to stay in E.U but I can understand your opinion because there is a pretty bad image of La gauche in usa

Lol ;) Most of all, we don't have any reason to throwing floor to Mélenchon's face. Seriously the french mains politics of this last 5 years gave to me the desire to remake sharp a guillotine... (Hollande president (get some floor), Manuell Valls First minister (was slap), and Emmanuel Macron as economic minister (get floor too) Hollande hasn't followed his program, he did nearly the opposite for what is as elected for... Valls use constitutional rights (49.3) to apply a law against citizen opinion and assembly. ( 5 months of strikes against this law). It's because of UE and the first step was created by Macron. Macron created the CICE to give 22 Billion of euro by year in companies to create employments... they aimed for 1million there was ... nothing the CEO get the money! It would be more useful if the money was gave directly to poor peoples. (Sry for my english), cheers.

S CassBurn And I would throw more than floor at him or Le Pen both of them are dangerous and will bring nothing good to France

About Fillon's suits, because of the scandal he had to give them back, but he didn't give the good ones.

wait, i thought there was cake? or... the cake is a lie too!?

Wow as a French this is a actually a joke me and my buddies would say regularly to mock his presidency

I think macron is what Joe Biden will be like.

@Abraham Lincoln As a French, I completely agree. They are both Neoliberal Corporatists who only serve the Establishment. The only reason Macron won was because of the fear of a Marine Le Pen presidency. And if Biden wins, it will only be because of the Coronavirus and the Protests.

@@abrahamlincoln8748 I respect your honesty about how your government works and I too agree with it (we also have our governmental problems but it seems it's not doing well in the Land of Freedom). When it comes to calling Sanders a Neo-liberal, it's a bit complex from a French perspective... Afterall over here he would be from the Parti Républicain afterall compared to French Standards he advocated for a more Liberalised Social Democracy. (Reminder : He calls himself a Democratic Socialist but he's actually a Social Democrat) But anyways... When it comes to Biden being "uninteresting and inoffensive" just like Macron.... I wish it were true for Macron (let's just say things got very bad under his reforms) but when it comes to Biden you're not wrong... Afterall the goal of a Biden campaign was mostly just returning the White House and America to normaly. Even though it's good, it's just sad to know that this probably isn't the last time we see Corruption in a Country born through ideals of the Enlightenment and a war for freedom. (I absolutely hate Trump and I have been observing the protests and cases in America so no need to pass me this info)

@@abrahamlincoln8748 Last thing... Most of us in Europe are aware of all these events, the narcissism, the corruption of your president and the police brutality... It's just that I kind off wished you guys came up with a more reformist politician... But between Biden and that Orange Maniack... Surely Is would choose Biden

But how was his french?

Ben B pretty good! Just a huge accent but understandable

I had to look at the eng subtitles sometimes... but it was hilarious.

Not bad. And that means that I didn't need the subtitles to understand his French. It was clear that a French writer or translator helped him pen it. I was confused when he inserted (no pun intended) "fuck up" with a quasi-French "ou" sound, but then I laughed hard.

He's probably saving that for after the election when he has a rant about how doomed France, Europe, and the entire world is.

I never realized John was so fluent in French. He clearly knows the language quite well. I'm learning myself....and have gotten quite far. But...John is _far_ ahead of me. Although learning second languages is pretty common for Europeans. I lived in France for 2 years as a kid, but sadly never learned the language...I still regret that. Trying to make up for it now at 30. Anyway...John's quite fluent! Nowhere near perfect, but very well articulated and pronounced!

His pronunciation wasn't "well", so I naturally assumed he just read it off the teleprompter after going through it with someone who speaks actual French two or three times before the show.

@@dirrdevil Have you seen the latest polls? Macron now has a 31% to 23% lead in the first round and the second round polling went from 53-47 to 60-40 in the span of 2-4 weeks. Besides it works the other way. Brexit has increased the support for Northern Ireland to join the Republic of Ireland from 13% in 2015 to 35-43 and a 9% Sien Fein lead for next year's Northern Ireland Assembly election. Also the Scottish Independence polls show a 45% leave to 48% stay. The 2014 referendum was 45-55

False equivalence is false

Les Gilets Jaunes showed us that France is still well on the left, and as the hysteria over immigrants calms down, it's hard to see Le Pen rallying a majority again, unless an equally radical person faces her in the next election.

Marc Nassif If France is still well on the left, how come Le Pen managed to win the European elections? Melenchon and other left wing parties, together, barely manage to reach double digits. I’m still surprised that 20%of the French are still willing to vote for Macron

@@samfreeman2839 My analyze : 1) The police brutalizing peaceful protesters made people realized fascists were already in power, so they switched their usual vote to the candidate with the most chance of winning against Macron, aka nationalists. It's a vote of sanction for a small election, it was meant as a message. There was also a islamic terrorist attack right before the election, it sures helped RN to overcome LREM. 2) LREM's electorate is basically people who don't want things to change. They don't care about the yellow vest movement because they're individualists who are winning in the globalization. It's mostly composed by old people, followers without real political views, or simply wealthy people. 3) A good portion of the left electorate switched their vote to the ecologists. LFI played the card of "Melenchon is our saviour and immigration is 200% nice" which doesn't really work well here, the PS still have to overcome the damage Hollande did to the party and they're doing it pathetically, and the fact far left thugs (Anti-Fa, black blocs) were aggressive during the yellow vest movement and created multiple conflicts with the police disgusted some leftists from the left culture, preferring then for this election a centrist approach represented by the ecologists, less radical.
