so the difference between supporting and not supporting her is more or less triggering WW3 or not
i have got some news, most people just want to be left alone
WW3 has a higher chance of happening by being soft on Russia. I agree that people want to be left alone but you can't bury your head in the sand either. Russia should GTFO out of Ukraine and leave them alone.

Are you trolling or serious? From what I can gather about your political leanings and worldview, Macron is pretty much the dream candidate for you:
A deeply neoliberal, centrist to center-right politician who is staunchly pro-globalization, favors a pro-active foreign policy, empowers technocrats and loves to fuck the poor.
Macron has a lot of good qualities like the ones you mentioned. Poor people bother me a lot and are incredibly frustrating to deal with. Having said that, European countries are fundamentally different than America because culture is SIGNIFICANTLY more important. There's also the aspect of pissing off the European left which is a huge plus and no one does that better than Le Pen.
Ultimately, we know so much more about the dangers of populism NOW compared to 2017. Being able to grow is an important quality in an individual.
