Massive Macron Landslide! 65.1%

yapi75

Hi everyone this is my first post on this site and I had to do it because of a few scary posts I've just read about The French elections.

Firstly I want to say that I'm a French guy who proudly voted for Emmanuel Macron on Apr 27th and May 7th. Marine Le Pen was NOT an option as she was clearly not a republican candidate. Remember "Liberté Egalité Fraternité" ?

Second, eat your hearts out British friends but there are still people who believe in Europe, no Frexit for us thank you As for the quote "Merkel re-elected as President of France", this is not a nice thing to say for the German people who re-elected this woman meaning she may be not that bad ;D

Last, many of us French people believe that our young, handsome and brilliant new President embodies values likely to give hope for the new generations. I may be wrong but why not give this young man a chance ?

And NO : gays and women are NOT beaten everyday by Muslims in France. I could not believe reading that kind of s**t on a gay site but I guess there are pro-Trump, pro-Putin, populist alt-right gays after all …

Peace people and do not let hate pollute your minds :love:

Many of french ..yeah well not me and not most french who didnt even voted yesterday because none of the 2 were an option( 21 millions votes against 47 millions registered to vote ( in 2012 about 10 millions were not even registered so… ) ). Record of all time of abstention and null vote ... and yes you are indeed wrong ;D

WOW, just wow.

Liberals down vote that comment.

I guess he's the liberal enemy too since he condemned the violence.

The large majority of French voted for Emmanuel Macron so yes that makes a lot of us even if abstention was indeed high. And as you and I well know, 2002 and 2017 elections cannot be compared since Marine Le Pen took over her father's party and gained strenght over time. I think people have become distrutful of politics (I guess it does not only apply to France) but Macron has reconstructed the French political landscape, no more two-party system and this should be opening a window of hope for the future. Was there any other option for you ? Fillon was locked in a political impasse and Mélanchon not much better than Marine Le Pen with his far left populist program.
BTW how do you know I'm wrong ? Can you read the future ?

For me it was your last line- not to let hate pollute our minds. :hug2: It's a sentiment I agree with 1000%! We can all disagree and discuss things here- but let's not make it personal. The whole point of debating is to engage in ideas and try to come to some common ground where possible.

I was surprised that my comment to you was downvoted TBH, it didn't make sense. But as I said it's best to not let things said here affect you too much. Take a break if it starts to feel too intense. I find it interesting to be active in this section while looking for new porn or waiting for my uploads to get started. And again, congratulations on a promising new president. At least you had a good option to pick-sometimes all options seem too tainted which makes it dispiriting to make a choice or cast a vote. $:-\$

The large majority of French voted for Emmanuel Macron

Again.. 21 millions out of 47 is less than 50% hence not the majority. The majority stayed away for good reason.

@raphjd:

raphjd, why are you responding to your own posts and rambling about Nazis? Take a deep breath and step away from the keyboard. Maybe it's time for other staff to intervene and give a certain admin a little time off – a "sanity break"?

No sanity break needed.

I do that to point out that the liberals keep down voting my posts, but never answer even the most basic questions I pose to them.

In case you haven't noticed, the left loves to call everyone they don't like a Nazi. If you don't want to cuck to the EU, you're a Nazi. If you condemn violence, you're a Nazi.

People who love to criticize often try to imply that someone is a Nazi or a Communist. The Liberals still have not figured out that Russia is no longer Communist. Sadly, I think that in the future.. the entire world will be Communist. Communism is the opposite of freedom. In the future, government will dictate everything, without applying any common sense or rationale.. and people will all just be cogs in a wheel. Communism is heaven for liberals.

I try to agree with people whenever I can. I do agree that Macron is young and handsome. If watching porn, I would much rather watch Macron than Marine Le Pen.
As for everything else you said. Nonsense. The entire history of France is corruption, hypocrisy, and division. You sell weapons of mass destruction to anybody who will pay for them, yet condemn any actual USE of the weapons by your rivals. France always despises their own leaders, going all the way back to the kings and Napoleon. Basically, France is a country of mercenaries (ever heard of the French Foreign Legion?). France thrives upon terrorism.
HOWEVER, I must point something out. Quite often, the people who exhibit the WORST behaviors also exhibit the BEST behaviors. Certainly France and Germany have done a lot of terrible things.. but France has also done some of the best things. And as for Germany, the technology of the world advanced by leaps and bounds with WW2. There probably would be no jet airplanes nor men on the moon without the contributions of people like Werner Von Braun and Albert Einstein (Einstein was German by the way..) Ironically.. Hitler was NOT German! He was Austrian. Those damned Austrians! bad bad bad!

I apologize in advance for offending any libtards with the true facts.

Will wonders never cease? I was happy that I'd be able to call a first and say that I actually agree with your first line! I too would rather watch Macron than Le Pen. ;D And then you go and continue to make the most nuanced discussion I've read from you in the time I've spent on this part of the forum. There's a lot to take from the compact bit of history you shared. I guess all I'd add is that a people can change over time, and maybe at some point grow past their collective history, and learn from mistakes made in the past.

As I said to others on here, we may disagree on many things, we may get heated in our discussion, but it's nice when common ground can be found once in a while. In the end, we all share the same goal here: To find and spread the best gay porn around! Cheers. :ok2:

Sorry but I cannot take this easy way out as an answer so I will repeat my previous question : was there any other option for you ?

@DemhaFeta:

Oh there goes France, too-da-loo. You will be missed… but to be honest that was expected.

France is like herpes, cancer, and Cher. They never go away (Cher has been on her "farewell tour" since June 2002).
France keeps coming back by selling massive quantities of weapons to countries that can't acquire them from anybody else.
They also make a fortune by conning tourists.

yes to not vote. like Guaino did. clever man.
