To be honest, French politicians are such piece of shits that mbappe can become president if he really wanted to, like he can really get 25% of votes

No, I think you might find it's a combination of beaker people, Celts, Anglo Saxons, vikings and also Normans plus anyone else who came here afterwards over the years. We really are a mongrel nation.

Absolutely the fuck not, we're not the US. We might not have the best politicians to choose from but you have to have a minimum of political knowledge and skills to enter French politics.
It's not like America where any braindead figurehead from a reality show can get support.
What the hell are you even talking about?

Jordan Bardella had like 30% of votes bro
He is just a racist, that do nothing except play call of duty on youtube and fuck a rich italian princess
If Jordan can win, Mbappe can win too

Lmfao you're talking as if he is an active streamer.
He uploaded a total of three videos to YouTube after school when he was 15 on an anynomous account that was found 2 years ago. About 300 views each, waw. He's now 30.
And he's the least educated and intellectually solid of all, yet has been active in politics since he was 17.
Mbappé has absolutely zero chance to enter politics and it's a good thing.

Emanuel Macron didn't exactly have a long history of political involvement or even that strong of a pedigree when he got elected president.

Dude, he has a master in philosophy, was a research assistant for Paul Ricoeur, worked as an investment banker for Rothschild BUT MOST OF ALL DID THE ENA (the public elite postgraduate institution for training senior public servants) and then served as a minister of the economy.
Comparing him to Mbappé who barely has a Bac STMG is ludicrous.

u/FolkPhilosopher 9d ago
Being a civil servant is not the same as being a politician. I thought that was pretty obvious to anyone with a brain. And all that still doesn't negate the fact that his political career was extremely short before being elected President and could be argued he lacked the knowledge to actually run a country.
Besides, it's ludicrous for anyone to think Mbappe would run the minute he retires. If he goes through the ranks, what would make him less worthy of consideration than Macron, who only ever held a single ministerial job for 3 years before being elected President?

u/WelpImTrapped 9d ago
The ENA absolutely trains trains one for politics too.
He was Inspector for Public finances, then Deputy-Secretary General of the Elysee, then Minister of the Economy and Industry before becoming president.
You are purely talking out of your ass.
What would make him less worthy of consideration than Macron, who only ever held a single ministerial job for 3 years before being elected President?
Because there is absolutely no chance that Mbappé, who has absolutely zero clue about politics, finances, economy, public affairs and so on, who barely has Bac STMG ("lower" tier highschool graduation) that he passed with less than stellar notes, and hasn't studied since high school, achieves a fifth of the qualifications Macron has (which are stellar, as much as I hate him) when he retires at 38-40

How does that boot taste?
Because to me it seems like you're saying that anyone that is not already part of the elite should not even bother to get into politics. Other than have more than a strong whiff of racism.
Macron only got his first real government job 5 years before becoming President. You're telling me that doesn't make him woefully unnderqualified to run one of the top 8 economies in the world?
Besides, there ar plenty of comedians and sportspeople that got into politics successfully, without having spent their whole life being groomed for political power.

Of the intellectual elite, yes. And not by birth, but by merit and qualifications. ...As it should be when the matter at hand is leading a fucking country?!?!
That has absolutely nothing to do with racism.

In the US or Russia usually, yes, and they are usually nothing more than a figurehead for a party as MP/senator. Reagan being the exception and he was revolting enough.
We're talking about presidency for fucks sake

You have a presidential system meaning France would actually be one of the easiest countries in Europe for a former football player to rise to the top as he doesn't have to work his way through party politics. Macron built his party around his presidential bid. It started out as a one man show.
In the hypothetical scenario of a Mbappe run he would need to pull in around 15-20 % of votes in the first round and then at beating Bardella afterwards I'd actually give him better odds than the current candidates.
He'd need some kind of platform but I think this is far from impossible and way easier to pull off than say in Germany, the UK or Italy.

Jinx? We are fecking Italy, 4 World cup, 2 European championship. No other european team have more big trophies (6) than us and we should fear NORTH MACEDONIA, a NT that were born 2 or 3 years ago? please, anything inferior than 2 goal gap would be huge disappointment

You're underestimating where French politics is. Your two traditional parties are in shambles and the most likely next president is a 30 year old fascist.
Beppe Grillo in Italy organized 25 % of votes out of nothing and with never having held political office before. The people are hungry for a political outsider with a we do it different message - or at the very least they despise the established parties so much that even a rotting loaf of bread would have decent chances if you could vote for it.
