      I expect that as a random US person, coming onto a native, you have at least spent some university time on European political systems to have some arguments?

      1. the constitution doesn’t allow for another election
      2. there’s actually never been such a situation in this constitution (yes, our constitutions are just laws, not gods given sacred scrolls, so we change them whenever they’re no longer adequate), and the current politicians cannot fathom working without a majority (although that was typical in the third and fourth republic, and in a lot of the other euro countries)
      3. the president wants a so called “technical” government that will just do as it’s told while the chambers fight among themselves

      And yes, it’s a shitshow. Shall we go back to how you’re about to elect an insane game show host along with a guy that’s had half his brain eaten by a worm?

        Trump has no hope next to Harris, Biden stepping down has been the smartest move I’ve seen from Democrats since runnng Obama, people are energized, no one wants the other confused old guy.

        Could you explain please why another election is not allowed in France? I though Macron dissolved the parliament early for a new election, which brought us to this situation in the first place.

          The constitution says that you can only do it once a year. Which makes sense as you have to deal with the stupid decisions you make.

        Hey now. There’s slightly over a 50% chance we get the coconut lady, instead.
