At least in our non democratic Country anybody can stand for election, in Frogland to stand as President you have to get 500 already elected people to vote for you in the first place, so the corrupt vote for who the population are allowed to vote for in the first place! Just like China, “here’s a list of approved candidates you can vote for, we call it democracy!” But China is a bit better than your beloved EU, they got a list of one person to vote for.

Macron got +50% of the votes cast, not 50% of the votes available and then only after others were knocked out leaving just two candidates in the final round.

 

It's votes cast that count.

The idea that you are making some grand statement by not voting is laughable.  No politician ever gave a damn about low turnout.

Oh, and your attempt at flexing by calling me "buddy" is hilarious. The last time somebody did that to me, puffing his chest out, putting his arms out and spattering my face with spittle, I broke half the bones in his face with a headbutt.
