Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - What It's Like

maths enjoyers and bug enjoyers and horror movie enjoyers and so forth all need to come together and unite against the common enemy of people telling you how much they hate something as soon as you mention you like it

whoever decided to start implementing ads on here that automatically unmute and cut off any music app you might have on in the background as you scroll by should be hunted for sport

They're right, you know. There is more. FAR more ...

But for now, here ya go. Welcome back. 😈

So, Gabriel Attal somehow took a clear-ish position against the far-right. Truly, we live in an age of miracles.

The Prime Minister said that not one vote should go to the RN. In circonscriptions where their candidate is third, they should quit in favor of "another candidate who, like us, defends the values ​​of the Republic".

This is, overall, good news. The government has managed to talk about the far-right without making any references to what they call the far-left. What worries me is that they haven't clearly said that any NFP candidate is a better choice than an RN candidate.

Candidates have until Tuesday to confirm their candidacy. I truly hope that everyone will keep it together for a week, eat crows and desist when necessary, and that on Sunday we will achieve the best result possible, which is mediocre.

Mediocre is better than far-right. Many can survive mediocre who couldn't survive far-right. Final verdict is next Sunday, and until then, everyone, good luck and goodnight.

So while we wait to see how low we've slid on this slippery slope, I thought I'd give a primer on how legislative elections work in France.

The first thing to know is that it's more like 577 local elections. In order to be elected, a candidate has to win in the circonscription in which they were campaigning.

The second thing to know is that in order to win on the first round of the election, a candidate must have at least 50% of the votes AND 25% of those registered. This means that if, as has happened in La Martinique, a candidate has 63% of the votes but the turn-out was low (estimated around 25%, which is low but higher than it was in the last election), they still get a second round.

Now, for the second round. Are qualified 1. The candidate who had the most votes and 2. Any candidate that had 12,5% of those registered to vote. Once again, this means that the turn-out is a factor in who gets to participate in the second round. It also means that it is possible for a second round to have a "triangulaire", that is to say 3 candidates in the second round (technically, it means that it's possible to have four candidates).

At time of writing, it is estimated that between 65 and 85 representatives have been elected on the first round, and that there will be between 285 and 315 triangulaires (based on the data given by Le Monde, which is based on Ipsos data). Out of 577 seats. This means that in a lot of circonscriptions, there will most probably be one RN candidate, one NFP candidate and one candidate from the presidential party.

On the left, several political leaders have already announced that if their candidates arrived third and a RN candidate was qualified for the second round, they would give up the election and encourage people to vote for whoever else was qualified.

And now the big question: will the presidential party do the same? Gabriel Attal, the Prime Minister, is expected to talk to the press tonight. I, personally, will be drinking and obsessively refreshing the news page.

Dernier post sur Mélenchon et après j'arrête avec lui mais je voulais juste dire que ce qui me frustre le plus, c'est que je le trouve impeccable sur les questions de la transidentité, clair (il me semble, les personnes concernées me corrigeront) sur l'islamophobie, excellent en débat, bon orateur, courageux face à certaines saloperies, quand Zemmour s'est foutu de sa gueule en disant qu'il était sourd et qu'il a répondu du tac au tac "je suis sourd de naissance. Vous avez un problème avec les handicapés ?", incroyable ! Et en plus, il aime la littérature ! Et il défend la Palestine ! Et il nous a tous donné espoir en 2012 ! Et si j'avais pu voter en 2012, j'aurais voté pour lui (mais j'avais 17 ans).

Son défaut est, comme beaucoup d'hommes, et en particulier des hommes blancs âgés ET EN PARTICULIER (je parle d'expérience) des hommes blancs âgés lettrés, c'est qu'il est têtu et qu'il a trop d'égo et qu'il n'admet pas qu'il ait pu merder. Et je ne pense même pas qu'il soit antisémite, je ne pense même pas que ce soit une stratégie électorale, je pense juste à mon grand-père, qui s'appelle aussi Jean-Luc, un vieux militant communiste, qui n'a jamais admis qu'il pouvait avoir tort, qu'il pouvait s'être trompé au moins une fois dans sa vie et je pense qu'ils ont plus qu'un prénom comme point commun.

I can't believe they went back to the cracked mirror universe and didn't check on Rev, last seen in NASH BODY, or on actual Nash, whose soul they yeeted back without any idea of the consequences.
