UPDATE: What is happening in France today? Left candidates who came in 3rd are dropping out of the runoffs to block the far-right. *Many* Macronists, including incumbents, are doing the same when they came in third. But... many said they won't. (I'd say about half/half right now? Deadline tmrw.)

The ones that said they won't should be 1 abandoned by their voters and 2 wake up to a yard full of shit

A ranked voting system, then? It sounds even more appealing now. I hadn't realized the ones low in the running could withdraw and donate their Next Choice votes back to the leaders. That is. So polite and SENSIBLE.

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."
