He's liberal on most of his stances, although he also believes in some social policies, which hence mean some government regulations. Le Pen would not. Le Pen is not a liberal, she's a conservative.

0	2	0	0	1	0	> Hamon is acting as a bit of a spoiler candidate for Melenchon and Melenchons recent rise is mirrored quite well by the decline of support for Hamon. Maybe but somehow everyone is ignoring undecided voters. Almost all polls posted here are pretty bad because they should always show undecided voters as it's one of the most important factors. E.g. a 5% lead is pretty good is undecideds are <10% but if you have 25% undecided than 5% isn't much. Maybe Hamon didn't lose that many voters but simply didn't gain any undecided ones.	europe	French politics

You are describing "Liberalism" there. Emmanuel Macron, the other candidate, would agree with you. He's liberal on most of his stances, although he also believes in some social policies, which hence mean some government regulations. Le Pen would not. Le Pen is not a liberal, she's a conservative. She believes in some pretty heavy regulations, including laws about "morals", e.g. banning gay marriage.

> Fillon is not leaning toward Russia, he is against Russian sanction Ukraine? Crimea? We impose sanctions against Russian expansionism despite their own economic retaliations *for a reason*...

> Fillon told the newspaper, arguing instead for an economic partnership and the convening of a security conference once Russia respects the Minsk peace accord for eastern Ukraine. So does that mean "economic partnership now. And security conference after Minsk II is implemented" or "economic partnership and security conference after Minsk II is implemented". Because the latter has been Merkels stance from the beginning. The sanctions will end and Russia will be back to the table once Minsk II is implemented.

> For conservatives, Macron is not a desirable option, but he's arguably the better of the two runoff options. Macron is literally the opposite of conservatism in every regard. Anti-free trade protectionism is classic, Roosevelt/Eisenhower conservatism.

His system https://en-marche.fr/emmanuel-macron/le-programme/emploi-ch%C3%B4mage-securites-professionnelles If: * you refuse two **decent** job offers * your job seeking intensity isn't deemed sufficient. WTF is a "decent" job offer? He offers no definition for that There's a definition for reasonable but decent is something macron came up with. And job seeking intensity? WTF is that?

> For the second time in 24 hours, French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday held a phone conversation with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to discuss efforts to solve the crisis in the Gulf. Macron expressed France's readiness to act as a mediator and stressed the importance of dialogue in order to preserve stability in the region. The French president also spoke to Saudi King Salman and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and "invited all parties to pursue dialogue". Why is Macron so perfect <3

> Former Intelligence Community attorney Susan Hennessey said the intel leaks were a self-inflicted wound caused by the administration’s own mendacity, while Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe lambasted the response as “stupefying stupid.” It’s a betrayal of the highest order to all military members and their families. They’re risking their lives for us, and our Coward-In-Chief cares so little, he can’t even bother to read his daily intelligence briefing. He is no longer fit to serve!!! 🤬

> France has suffered way too many terrorist attacks to label Le Pen supporters as "racist" or "extreme." Those two have nothing to do with each other. There could have been a million terrorist attacks in France, and saying racist stuff would still be racist. Voting for an authoritarian flirting with fascist, backed by Putin is not a reasonable reaction to being pissed off. It's like saying *Paris has way too much traffic to label car bombers "violent" or "extreme."*

> Hamon is acting as a bit of a spoiler candidate for Melenchon and Melenchons recent rise is mirrored quite well by the decline of support for Hamon. Maybe but somehow everyone is ignoring undecided voters. Almost all polls posted here are pretty bad because they should always show undecided voters as it's one of the most important factors. E.g. a 5% lead is pretty good is undecideds are <10% but if you have 25% undecided than 5% isn't much. Maybe Hamon didn't lose that many voters but simply didn't gain any undecided ones.

> He **basically** said 'all women are used up wh\*res living paycheck to paycheck' and made some other really ugly, prejudiced, over-generalized comments. This is really galvanizing statement that is going to get a specific response based in emotion because this is a disgusting thing to say. That said, what did he **actually** say. There is a big difference between *what* someone says and *how* you *interpret* it. I would recommend giving people the information as objectively as possible, to get the best advice.

> He also warned François Fillon, the candidate for the right-wing Républicains party, that “brutalising society must be avoided.” > “Democracy, freedom, social rights, Europe and even peace, all of that becomes vulnerable, reversible,” added Hollande. so the title is about the right wing candidate, not you know, muslim extremism which was my first assumption and the reason I read the article.

> He is ALREADY FUCKING BEING NORMALIZED. He's been normalized. TBH, he was normalized before he even ran for president, and before he said anything about Obama's birth certificate. It's just how Americans are. And to a lesser extent, the rest of the anglo world. If Le Pen loses, it'll further cement the Anglo-Europe divide, especially since immigration is *actually* a problem in France.

> He might just actually believe it's the right thing to do. He does. And it might be the correct path. But if Macron wants to convince me that weakening workers right is good, he will have to show me that he is also willing to go after the excess of the financiary system and do something about fiscal and environmental dumping.
