Yes, they should compromise. They're obviously not big enough to win on their own, so they should compromise like all the others. They refuse to do so, and the logical consequence is that other parties refuse to join them.

If you think that having more popularity makes them the absolute authority of the left and every other party should bow to their ideas, we have nothing to discuss.

They refuse to compromise with parties less liberal than them as well, by the way. They refuse to compromise no matter the agenda.

No, they want the other left parties to agree to all their conditions and refuse to compromise on their positions. I'm all for a united left but LFI is a big part of the problem.

There is always major differences between municipal and national elections. I'll agree with you when it comes to national elections. But the socialists have been leading Paris since 2001. Both mayors since have been reelected after their first mandate. So, they must be doing something right at the city level! And now, Paris is about to have a third socialist mayor in a row, amounting to at least 31 continuous years of socialist leadership in Paris.

I am disappointed with their politics at a national level. But when I was living in Paris I was pretty happy with what they were doing with the city.

He doesn't have to liquidate shit, none of them do. They borrow against their holdings.

I hope this is bait :) Because this is the dumbest comment I've read all week.

A gamer does not need to switch from the mouse to the keyboard repeatedly. Plus, a gamer cares about precision, which obviously a trackpad lacks.

"Faster" standalone means nothing. Can you move the pointer faster with a mouse? Of course. But I don't see most people flicking on their workstation.

In the context of this thread, "faster" refers to completing your tasks faster. And for that a trackpad beats a mouse if your job requires you to type a lot.

I prefer a trackpad while I work, and the reason is simple: Much less movement to switch from trackpad to keyboard than from mouse to keyboard. And much easier to land on the key you want without looking.

And I very much doubt you'd be faster than me with a mouse!

I can't work on a big screen. I'm thriving on my laptop with my 3x3 virtual desktop grid, though.

In general yes. Here the common denominator is that canadians are british and french colonists who never kicked their invaders.

They are the invaders. Just like the US. The difference is they didn't decide to go independent.

Well, we're not falling for communism, so my focus is on fascism at the moment.

Although arguably the communism you're thinking about was/is fascism in disguise, not communism. Communism hasn't really been tried yet - or tried and turned fascist. It's pretty much a utopic idea at this point.

When I say "countries remember", I mean the people who take decisions in the name of the country remember. I should have been clearer.

The general population always forgets, yes. That's why the world is once again falling for fascism.

I assure you the countries involved have not forgotten anything. Same will happen here.
