Will Nupes change French politics?

This is the new electoral alliance that is about to stand in the French Presidential elections. Despite massive media attacks, it's polling very well and might succeed in gaining a majority.

Well, teacher, I know your answer, you probably read it in The Guardian. I know my answer, I have learnt it from listening to Mr Melenchon.

@EarthlingWise The Guardian is liberal and has a quite pronounced anti-left agenda. There are some notable exceptions (such as Owen Jones) but the typical columnist hates the left as much as the Conservatives.

I read your links and concluded that your criticisms of him were wrong (IMO). The PS was calling him a Putin stooge and now they are working with him! They must have known that was BS all along.

I hope that the left does change politics in France because I'm sick of the neoliberal centrist vrs soft-fascist death spiral which is slowly corroding everything worthwhile.
@Burnley123 He's not just a stooge, he is also a true supporter of the methods of every dictator that poses as anti-American.
If you were really interested in knowing who he is you would look further.

@EarthlingWise This is propaganda and not sustainable by anything that I have read. Macron is more authoritarian, especially with policing methods.

A quarter of your compatriots (including a huge number of minorities and educated young people) are fooled by this somehow? Do they want a pro-Putin dictator? 🙆‍♂️

The mainstream media seeks to discredit the left by any means possible because of elite economic interests. The same thing happened with Sanders and Corbyn. A straight ideological fight won't wash so attacking them from a faux-progressive standpoint is a frequently deployed strategy.

I think you yourself are honest but a lot of the people you read are not.
@Burnley123 I do not read a lot of people to make political opinions about candidates.
I'm not an innocent little goose looking for direction. I make my opinion on people by listening to them , and looking at their reactions in bad times.
I am also old enough to know how leftist papers work. Paranoia is one of their favourite tools. They are preying on young people's idealism and are surely not unbiased at all.
Again, see for yourself.

@EarthlingWise I'm not naive either. I know what I believe and how propeganda works
