That was very dramatic, French TV.

GO
VOTE
MACRON

 

[Kaban]

Are these results final or are they still coming in?

 

[Big Nikus]

I wanna die.

Me too.

 

[MrHoot]

You were the chosen ones, France GAF

You know it's not over and that Macron is probably gonna win right ?

 

[Oreiller]

Guess I'll vote Macron then. Not very happy about this but Fillon is out at least.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Okay.
I guess I should be disappointed that Marine scored 22% (so far) but whatever, this isn't 2002 and this is probably the best case scenario in this day and age imo. Macron will crush her in two weeks.
There's hope yet for this country.

 

[Palette Swap]

Sofres says 23% for both. :-/

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Damn, 2 percent difference could have given Le Pen the early exit.

 

[Fistwell]

At least fillon can go to hell.

That was very dramatic, French TV.

GO
VOTE
MACRON

I mean... I will.. but still. Fuck.

 

[TheMan]

so france is one step closer to trump 2.0. I get that there's another round, but people were doubting trump and then boom, next thing you know that orange dildo is kicking muslims in the mouth. Don't get complacment, mes amis.

 

[azyless]

This is what I wanted under the circumstances so I'm relatively happy.
I'd like to know whether Mélenchon is 3rd or 4th.
This one's for you François 🍾

 

[Zukkoyaki]

If these first round polls were this close, take comfort in the coming 20-30 point Macron victory.

 

[Hypron]

Putin is going to have his Axis powers isn't he? Jesus.

Why are people acting like this? Macron got the most votes?

 

[Aurongel]

It is insane how these elections are almost always seemingly split down middle.

Increased political polarization make elections in general more contentious and reliant on voter turnout. This has been observed for a while in the US.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Macron isn't like Trump is he? Please say no.

 

[Zarill]

Jesus Christ that tie

 

[Red Arremer]

I'm hoping you guys are pulling another Austria, where the right winger and an alternative are going into the second round, and the alternative candidate wins. You even have a better chance because Macron is a lot more moderate than van der Bellen in Austria was, so Le Pen will have a lot harder time fishing for the centrists.

I'm so tired of this shit

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Please, my french friends, tell me this is good? Someone has already talked about this, but I cant remember because I am so worried.

 

[MoodyFog]

Congrats Macron

 

[Ac30]

Macron isn't like Trump is he? Please say no.

Not in the slightest. He's a massive europhile.

 

[Jb]

OH LORD THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST

I've been having nightmare of a LP/JLM showdown for an entire fucking week.
Jesus that was scary as fuck.

 

[Magni]

Macron isn't like Trump is he? Please say no.

Macron is like Clinton, but with a lot less experience (he's 39), and thus a much cleaner image.

 

[Systolique]

Marine not getting first place is the best news, she really has no chance now, papa bless

 

[RPGCrazied]

Not in the slightest. He's a massive europhile.

Good. Hope he wins. Need to offset this crazy shit happening in America.

Just gotta make up a 15-20 point deficit in 2 weeks just like Trump, no big deal.

 

[Lautaro]

Haha why is people in Gaf losing their shit now? (rethorical question, get a grip people)

She's not leading the first round, that's good.

 

[hidys]

Macron isn't like Trump is he? Please say no.

Macron is Clinton. Le Pen is Trump.

 

[Dilly]

As a Belgian, I can only be happy for Macron making it to the second round.

Melenchon's ideas were interesting, but his foreign policy was terrible.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

You know it's not over and that Macron is probably gonna win right ?

Yes, but that Le Pen having as much support as she has is still disappointing.

 

[Palette Swap]

Hey François. Rends l'argent. 😄

Macron isn't like Trump is he? Please say no.

Not at all.

 

[Lifeline]

So 3rd and 4th place, who are their voters likely to vote for conservatives or progressives?

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

From the most interesting first round to the most boring second one...

 

[Cabaratier]

Why are people freaking out? This was the most expected (and one of the best) outcomes, and thus we can reasonably project that Macron will beat Le Pen in two weeks.

 

[LordKano]

No, not really. That's pretty much impossible now.

 

[norinrad]

Can we have a Wikipedia entry for the union that once existed as the EU? Jesus fucking Christ I'm feeling depressed.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Trump say the polls were rigged against Le Pen? Lets take bets. The guy was for her, LOL

Says she was strong on borders.

 

[Systolique]

Everybody will go Macron

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Yep.

 

[vonStirlitz]

It's a replay of Chirac. Everyone will rally around Macron, left and right. No way Le Pen wins (and I am not a sage here but I did correctly call Brexit and Trump). It would have been scary if it was Fillon and Le Pen though.

 

[Tamanator]

Macron isn't like Trump is he? Please say no.

The opposite, Macron is a pro business, pro EU economic liberal (with social progressive views). Basically too right wing for the Socialists but too left wing for the centre-right. Classic centrist candidate, which is surprising since centrism hasn't been a successful ideology for a long time.

 

[Big Nikus]

Why are people freaking out? This was the most expected and (one of the best) outcomes, and thus we can reasonably project that Macron will beat Le Pen in two weeks.

I can't stand either of them. Still will vote for Macron though because we can't have racist shithead in power. But fuck him.

 

[TeddyBoy]

This is a bit much, Macron is very pro-EU.

 

[whyamihere]

Even though the outcome was expected, I still had a tinge of sadness seeing Le Pen in the top 2. It's terrifying.

 

[azyless]

This is the best possible outcome for the EU lol

 

[Flai]

Yeah no idea. This was what every poll has been expecting for the past, I don't know, 3 months? If anything, Le Pen was expected to be closer to Macron.

 

[Shahadan]

Another Nicolas preventing Fillon from achieving his dreams.

 

[Orniletter]

Me too.

BA far the best candidate is leading the polls and expected to win the second round.

Not sure why.

 

[yananana]

I can't stand either of them. Still will vote for Macron though. But fuck him.

Yeah pretty much this.
