the fact that the left and centre in France have both said that the third place candidates will drop out is getting basically no play in a US press going full apeshit over Round 1 results and yes it is so that you think fascism is inevitable globally so why not here

This could indeed be a game changer but please bear in mind that Macron’s centre is no centre but a racist and islamophobic right. They spend the whole campaign claiming the left is as dangerous as the far right RN, which was founded by former members of the Waffen SS and the terrorist OAS.

Nah. I've seen it in every major media report here, but it comes after the explanation of why they have 2 rounds of voting a week apart and the tactics that emerge from that.

The US Press has trouble wrapping its minds around politics involving more than two parties. Which is why you only ever hear about Tories and Labour.

Even the Guardian's got a sort of reluctant air when pointing this out, if they do at all.

The SCOTUS may be the fountainhead but nobody wants a fascist USA more than the legacy media here, like nobody. Not even Trump wants it this bad.
