Emmanuel Macron’s party formed a last–minute agreement with right-leaning lawmakers to win a key vote in parliament on Thursday that opens the door to the French president playing a greater-than-expected role in forming the country’s next government.
The two political groups put together an ad-hoc alliance to reelect Yaël Braun-Pivet as head of the French National Assembly, the fourth highest-ranking official in France. The vote was widely seen as a test to see who could work together in France’s fractured parliament to name a future prime minister.
In combining their forces, the centrists and the center right seized political momentum while also delivering a stunning blow to their rivals further to the left.

Bernie was winning handily until half the field dropped out and endorsed Biden right before Super Tuesday, which is when Biden started winning. Pretending he just won in a purely fair and honest race is silly, we all saw the collusion.
And if you’re referring to the 2024 primary, pretending that was a real race is even more silly.
Not my photo and I don’t entirely remember its context but I’d saved it back then because it really struck me how blatant the Bernie censorship was

I said the Democrat leadership chose him. You said that doesn’t matter because he won the primary. I said he won the primary in part because Democrat leadership chose him, and here’s how. I never complained. What they did wasn’t cheating or illegal, and I don’t think it should be.
No need to project a bunch of feelings onto me.
It doesn’t matter. You either get votes or you don’t. They could’ve picked coalesced around anyone. What difference does it make? Bernie had a good a chance as anyone in 2020. He just didn’t win.
You’re basically just rehashing the same “it isn’t fair” that a bunch of people do. It was completely fair but Bernie’s fanbase was not nearly as big. Or that didn’t show up. My entire point.
Edit- lot of butthurt people that can’t accept reality evidently.
