I was expecting something in the article to back it up, like sales figures, but I couldn’t find anything.

We want to negotiate, but you must allow us to eat all the chips.
There are so many levels of fuckery in the American system. It goes all the way up to just asking the supreme court (who you appointed) to please let you win.
The right was never dominating the polls. They had ~30%. It was always going to play out this way. The doom and gloom was that actual fascists had 30% of the vote.
It was only individual candidates being encouraged to drop out strategically.
France has a slightly less shitty electoral system than e.g. UK, US, Canada, so a party with 30% was never going to win absolute power.
Edit: when I say “it was always going to play out this way” l just mean the right weren’t going to win a majority. The left still seems to have done surprisingly well in the second round.
Also, it’s still shitty that the fascists won so many seats…
That explains why we never hear about either of them anymore.
