[rant mode = on] **** POLITICS ! I LOATHE THEM !

I think they are all crooked, in it for the money and power. They don't care about the people, only their little personal interest.

Valid for France, and the USA and ALMOST anywhere.

Hence why I voted white (I'll explain that in a second) [rant mode = off]

Ok, now my rant is over, and I think you guys are asking a valid question.

First of all, I think voting is important and I voted to all the elections since I was 18.

Even here, from the USA, I can vote. And I did. And I will.

I won't go over every politician or their ideas and will say that John Oliver's video is actually pretty legit on the presentation of those guys.

Things to note :

- It's France. Having people marching in the street isn't considered as riots. It's just the way we express our ideas. It's not good or bad, it is what it is. But I hate to see Fox News presenting people expressing their opinions as a riot.

- Macron and Le Pen are competing in the second round as per yesterdays first round results.

- Macron is an ex-banker with huge ties with his former employer, the Rothschild bank. He used to be the actual president special counselor for the first 3 years of his term and then the economy minister for the last 2 years. His results on the economy are disastrous and didn't help ANYTHING. His program is empty and will be a continuation of the actual state which is big lobbies controlling the gov.

- Le Pen comes from a family that has a more than shady history. They have ties to german Nazis, used to torture people in Algeria, have been convicted multiple times for minimizing the Holocaust and openly being antisemite etc etc. Her political party, the National Front has never held any actual high level position in any gov organization except a very few seats at the parliament and her program, although shinny and appealing for the people of France, is not applicable.

As you can see, I hate both. Hence why I will vote white.

Voting white is a concept we have over there, meaning you don't put anything in the envelope. (oh yeah, we vote by putting name cards in envelopes, the old fashioned way).

That way when the people counting the votes open your envelope, they will only see the white of it. Hence why the white vote.

This white vote is not counting towards anything. But they are still counted. And expressed.

Then you know by how much the politics have been elected. How many voters actually gave their voice to them vs how many people actually voted.

And I am part of the people that think we should add a law to say that if the white vote wins, we do the whole show again with 100% new people.

I could go in way way more details but I feel I talk a lot...

Let me know if you have any questions, I'll try to be a little less direct or more explaining and less ranting.

Sorry guys, it's a tough time for me, I feel like I am just watching my country deteriorate and can't do much...
