Look at CNN's front page right now. You'd think Hillary just won here in the US.

And yet the French elections has nothing to do with us. Just goes to show how much the left values identity politics over actual substance.

Nationalism is an identity. I thought that's the entire reason people supported Le Pen.

As long as it's not the left's definition of nationalism, it doesn't matter.

Our press is very far to the left. They are entitled to enjoy this moment.

True, plus it makes them look even more fake.

If it has nothing to do with us..and I agree, BTW..than why all the Alt/right attention..there are well over a dozen posts on this board bemoaning the Macron win. Who care, if it means nothing?

Yes it does, because it shows that nationalists are actually far greater proponents of identity politics.

Obama interfered with the France elections but when Obama interferes that seems to be a positive sign for liberals.

Yet so many on the US right, Trump included, have spoken out about it and many are now displaying their tendency to be poor, classless losers.

Trump's loyal followers are anti-Globalists. Why do they care about a French election? Isn't the American anti-globalist mindset supposed to be USA 7x24 and no other country matters.

If you don't like CNN then don't watch it. Why torture yourself and then complain about a station?
