Wanted to dunk on US voter participation, but got corrected.
Maybe the French wouldn't need to protest 24/7 if they actually voted. Like wtf is this XD
How are you famous for protests and revolutions, but don't participate afterwards XD
True, and we dont give a fuck about fixing the economy, we'd rather fix libéralisme/capitalism. Getting rid of the political elite making the business-people elite richer would be a good start. All in all the situation is still much better here from a social rights perspective, but we're following US steps and setting a perfect ground for fascism (which is already on the rise). And far right people vote. And old people who are mostly 'republicans' vote a lot too. And the political elite knows it and targets them. So we're pretty fucked.
Which doesn't mean we won't riot.
