We're counting on you, France. Give us Macron, for the love of God.

 

[Palette Swap]

Gotcha, thanks.

Also: Mods, putting Thor in every poll stopped being funny in 2015

Thanks to your post, I found out there's a poll.
Thor didn't get old for us mobile users because we never see the polls anyway.

 

[N7.Angel]

A voté, I can't say for who I voted but fuck Lepen.

 

[TwntyOneTwlv]

The entire world is counting on you, France. Don't fuck this up like us Americans did.

 

[SporeCrawler]

voter turnout seems to be low. lets hope it doesnt mean...

 

[G.O.O.]

one person here voted for Le Pen

on va te trouver et te passer la bite au cirage mec

 

[Eolz]

Well, if you voted against Le Pen, there was only one choice...

voter turnout seems to be low. lets hope it doesnt mean...

It doesn't mean much right now. At some %, it's the same as previous years, and it's basically the same as the first round.
The important number will be the turnout rate at 17h imo.

For those interested, Macron gave probably his best interview of the campaign to Mediapart last Friday. Smart move from him, trying to convince leftists with his technical and historial knowledge and good rhetoric in 1v1.

I wish that kind of good interviews were available on big TV channels and newschannels

Spoiler

but that won't happen

Watching it right now, it's really good.

We're doing all we can, well at least some of us are. Today I got to vote against Le Pen twice, for myself and as a proxy. It felt pretty okay.

 

[Kilrogg]

Oh shit, I'm watching the France 24 livestream, and they just said Le Pen would celebrate her victory near where I live. Don't know if she'll be there even she loses, but I don't like this either way.

If Thor 2: The Dark World ends up being the French President then democracy is saved.

Take photos for us if she loses. The amount of salt will be glorious.

Is 'mediocre, but not as bad as people make out' pro-EU or anti-EU?

Haha, sorry, but there's no way in hell I'm doing this. She won't be literally across the street from my place fortunately. Plus I'm worried I might see a couple relatives at her meeting, ugh.

 

[Blackpuppy]

I've only seen the 28% for noon which is the same at the first round. It's actually pretty good.

Wasn't London partly destroyed at the end of that film? Thor 2: The Dark World is obviously anti-Brexit and pro-EU.

Do we have the 2002 turnout at noon ?

Le Monde's live really doesn't help with my already low faith in humanity.

Notre envoyé spécial Franck Johannès a rencontré sœur Marie-Rose Pain, 84 ans – « Pain comme la sainte Eucharistie ». Et elle est fort inquiète. « La France va tellement souffrir que le monde en frémira », promet l’ancienne sœur des Cœurs de Jésus et de Marie (Mormaison), une congrégation fondée il y a deux cents ans par un abbé qui donnait la messe dans les bois, pendant la Révolution.

Elle est inquiète « pour la question des écoles et pour l’avortement, le plus grand fléau de notre temps ». La sœur donne des cours de français, d'anglais – et de latin naturellement –, des cours de soutien, hors de toute structure, parce que la congrégation l’a excommuniée lorsqu’elle a fait venir en Vendée Mgr Lefebvre. Elle n’a pas trop de difficulté à admettre qu’elle a voté Marine Le Pen. Et pourtant, elle a plein de petits élèves étrangers, dans ce quartier un peu difficile de Pont-Boileau – quatre tours d'habitation, les seules, plantées dans un coin de la ville. Marine Le Pen est arrivée en troisième position le 23 avril dans ce bureau.

« Je leur dis, c’est très bien de venir apprendre le français, mais après, il faut rentrer dans votre pays ! Au lieu d’y envoyer des ONG qui font le travail à votre place. » Sœur Marie-Rose est sortie de la messe pour aller voter, à la chapelle Saint-Michel, qui a ouvertement appelé à voter Le Pen. La vieille dame a fait son devoir, sans trop d’illusions, et le cœur (de Jésus et de Marie Mormaison) vraiment serré : « On va avoir l’antéchrist. Qui est juif, comme vous savez. »

Anyways, here's another thing Macron had in common with Obama.

Edit:

FFS

Raymonde J., 70 ans, a voté "pour (s)es enfants et petits-enfants". Ex-responsable d'hôtel, électrice de Nicolas Dupont-Aignan au premier tour, cette pimpante retraitée peste contre le "laxisme" ambiant. Elle a hésité jusqu'à ce dimanche matin. Marine Le Pen a finalement obtenu ses faveurs. Elle précise qu'elle ne "souhaite pas" que la candidate FN soit élue :

Je ne veux pas qu'on abandonne l'euro, ça nous foutrait dans un merdier pas possible. Mais j'ai vu le débat de mercredi. Pour moi c'était bonnet blanc et blanc bonnet. Mon vote est contestataire. Traditionnellement, je votais à droite. Là, j'ai voulu tout bousculer.

I fell asleep during that movie. Do I hate or like France/EU/UK/Brexit now?

Blue : final turnout
Orange : turnout at noon

 

[Binabik15]

Don't let Putin's win streak continue. Two out of three is bad enough.

PS: I saw many people with small French flags in Karlsruhe last time, none today. But the weather sucks, so maybe that's why.

 

[Wallach]

How many more hours before we have a pretty solid idea whether France fucked this up or not?

 

[Mr Swine]

Yeah, if Le Pen wins then all the other countries will probably have a similar fate

Anyways, here's another thing Macron had in common with Obama.

I grew up in a catholic environment and have always found it shocking to see how close these people can be to the far right. They either don't read the gospel or are really good at mental gymnastics to reconcile their close-mindedness and the message of Christ.

"Hey, I'll teach you French, sure, but make sure to get back to your country afterwards, where knowing French won't be of any use okay?"

Fucking idiots.

 

[Boke1879]

Come on France

 

[Green Yoshi]

No. The Intercept has a very specific angle and they're still playing it.

Being against the alt-right movement in the USA is not having a very specific angle.

Not a bit representative, but a German newspaper wrote about an older couple who both voted "blanc" because they don't like neither Le Pen nor Macron.

Another one writes that French people will soon miss Hollande because his outcome is not as bad as people make it.

She is teaching them the better language, like missionaries used to do.

You missed the part were Jesus sent the refugee back to their country and fought for a national currency

 

[Kilrogg]

You missed the part were Jesus sent the refugee back to their country and fought for a national currency

and the part where he blamed other people for everything that's bad. "Love thy neighbor"? Yeah, right.

 

[Binabik15]

Yeah, if Le Pen wins then all the other countries will probably have a similar fate

Not all of them, hopefully. I can't see the AfD getting back to real popularity here in Germany, for example, and there are enough other parties for the role of potential kingmaker/coalition parnter(s). Others don't need Russian money because they're dyed-in-the-wool ex-DDR commies already Or proud Neonazis D:

At worst we will have another round of Merkel with more conservative support. Not perfect for a centre-leftist like me, but better to have the right than the alt-right in power.

Some members of my family are part of the catosphere and it's pretty damn scary. They go full blown conspiracy theories, ranting about the franc-maçonnerie and the fact that Obama and Hollande are satanists, and a whole bunch of similar nonsense.
Not surprisingly, they're going to vote Le Pen since Macron is apparently the embodiment of the financial beast who is going to engulf humanity.

You have to say : Omellette "au" fromage.

 

[Palette Swap]

No shit Pope Francis made pretented to not know enough about both candidates to have an opinion. The old Jesuit in action.

 

[Fisico]

Messemble que les taux de participations sont vraiment bas pour quelque chose d'aussi important que ça. Non?

0.2% de moins qu'au premier tour il y a deux semaines à 12h.
Historiquement depuis 1974 le taux de participation était toujours plus élevé à 12h au 2è tour qu'à 12h au premier tour.

Une légère baisse du taux de participation est à prévoir (~75%), une hausse des votes blancs et nuls également mais passé la soirée de la rotonde l'équipe de Macron a plutôt bien géré la campagne d'entre deux tours, le débat cataclysmique pour Le Pen a probablement convaincu des personnes de mettre leurs "principes" de côté et voter Macron également.

Still one and half an hour before I go voting

 

[Irminsul]

Well, Macron is in support of gay marriage, isn't he? Probably Francis knows at least that

 

[Westbahnhof]

Austria avoided Norbert Hofer, so I have faith that our lovely French friends will also make the non-terrifying choice.

J'espère en tout cas. Tellement de pote "insoumis" qui ont annoncés leur laxisme sur FB que ça me fait un peu peur si, comme aux US, le schisme puritain de la gauche construit une route pavée pour Le Pen

That's le joke.

? Did he say vote Lepen???

 

[Skellig Gra]

Come on France I have faith you guys will do the right thing.

A voté, I can't say for who I voted but fuck Lepen.

je vois ce que tu as fait là.jpg

 

[cartoon_soldier]

How's turnout looking?

 

[N7.Angel]

Well, if you voted against Le Pen, there was only one choice..

Can't say anything mate...

 

[Palette Swap]

? Did he say vote Lepen???

No. He said he didn't have an opinion on the election because he didn't know the candidates enough, Macron in particular.

That's just a way to side step the question because he knows a number of faithful are voting Le Pen.

 

[Mac_Lane]

How's turnout looking?

We'll have a new number at 5pm. Nothing before that.

 

[Coffinhal]

How's turnout looking?

I'd say pretty good so far, I would have bet on a bigger drop but people may have decided to put a white ballot instead of abstaining?

Blue : final turnout
Orange : turnout at noon

1st round VS 2nd round

 

[The Lamp]

We'll have a new number at 5pm. Nothing before that.

5 pm France time? Then that's very soon

 

[Mac_Lane]

5 pm France time? Then that's very soon

Yes, that's right ! Final turnout will only be known at 8pm though, when the last polling places will have closed.
