Reading the translated responses to Christiane Taubira’s post that she will vote for Macron in the runoff, I’m getting vibes of #BernieOrBust from Melenchon voters pissed at her support of Hamon over “true left” Melenchon in the first round. The most vocal pro-Melenchon anti-Macron voters are using the hashtag #SansMoiLe7Mai, blasting “liberals” like Macron.

This shows that France, without an electoral college nor party duopoly, is better than the U.S. in presidential voting, but not by much.
