MODERATORS
Lots of us wanted neither, we juqt settled for 5 more years of "Macron the dipshit that is covertly racist" to avoid 5 years of "Le Pen the dipshit that is overtly racist". And we hate every minute of it.
I feel that's a lot of countries right now. USA didn't want Biden, but it was better than Trump. The UK is facing an election where we'll have to chose between Starmer or Sunak(?).
The system feels broken beyond repair.
The choice is between a perpetrator and a collaborator.
Personally, it doesn't matter much to me how palatable a politician is when the end result is the same.
