French election: Macron 'most convincing' in final debate

OK, so "most convincing" means that the French people should therefore vote for an Establishment Socialist, despite the fact that Establishment Socialist policies are destroying the entire country and turning it into a corral of defenseless sheep who are being overrun culturally by a growing flood of Islamist fanatics?

If majorities of the French people are going to be this blind—this stupid—then I can't help but feel pity for that patriotic minority which is sounding the alarm, but apparently not convincing enough of their countrymen of the need for Revolutionary change.

I know that the odds are against Le Pen's success—with the populace so deeply submerged in politically correct socialist propaganda—but I had fervently hoped for more progress than what I'm seeing.

I have under my eyes the programs of both candidate sent into my mailbox for the next sunday ballot. Macron has many things wrong compared to Lepen on Islam, immigration, EU, law and order... but economically, it’s false to imply he is more socialist than Lepen.

He has promised much les regulations (as finance minister, he had deregulated the bus transport market) and more tax cut than her like cancelling the housing tax and part of the salary tax (where he will get the money, only God knows). Economically, Lepen is much more statist than Macron. Screw them both even if I’ll vote for Lepen to show my middle finger to the establishment polliticians.
