When the losers French are lecturing their American counterparts. The day after the election of Donald Trump to the White House, La France insoumise – which, as everyone knows, has perfectly mastered the recipe for winning a presidential election – is already singing its little music to explain the camp's crushing defeat Democrat. In substance: “No, Kamala Harris is not a comrade. »
“The political lessons of this election are clear. Without a disruptive project taking up the massive aspirations for social and fiscal justice, the anti-racist fight, the relocation of jobs, particularly industrial ones, the left cannot beat the far right. can we read in a press release released this Wednesday, October 6 which, in short, accuses the current vice-president of being a “social traitor” or, worse, a François Hollande in the country of Uncle Sam. And Jean -Luc Mélenchon to engage on his X account: “The USA could not choose the left: there was none. » Too bad the supreme leader of LFI is not American!
Not pro-Palestinian enough
You will have understood: for the Insoumis, if the Republican candidate won with a large lead – notably winning many “key states” – it is not because of the rejection of illegal immigration, nor in due to a distrust of the working classes towards the elites, nor (even less) thanks to any support of the population for the liberal theses of personalities like Elon Musk. On the contrary: it's because Kamala Harris took over the “anti-migrant speech” of his opponent and did not propose “major plan against climate change”…
Above all, the Democratic candidate committed an blunder, an unforgivable mistake for any representative of the authentically radical left: breaking with support for Israel in the conflict in the Middle East. “This is the outcome of Kamala Harris' refusal to defend peace and international law, and in particular to denounce the ongoing genocide in Gaza. She failed to mobilize the popular electorate necessary for her victory”assures LFI in its analysis, confusing the said “popular electorate” with a student minority vociferous on American campuses. Should the sixty-year-old have better considered Hamas as a “resistance army” ?
The rest after this ad
As disconnected as it is political, this speech from La France insoumise also clashes with the facts. Because there was indeed a radical left representative in the running during this election: Jill Stein, candidate of the Green Party, whose positions reveal themselves “ extremely close to the Insoumis », Dixit Mélenchon on the eve of the election. His score? 0.4% of the popular vote and 0% of the electoral college.
