Yeah, but French people voted for actual leftist/socdems, with ideas and ideologies most voters agree with. The Democrats wants the USians to vote for them just because they are not Trump.

Macron has appointed a far right prime minister (?) instead of one from the left majority resulting from the recent election. In effect ignoring the voter intent. Legality is not very clear to me but it's at minimum in defiance of convention and expectations

Edit: looks like I'm wrong

The New Popular Front only got 180 seats out of the 289 needed.

In terms of the popular vote, the will of the france-cool people was the far right.

macron outmaneuvered both the left and slightly further right

My mistake then. I'm certainly not an expert on this, was just trying to summarize because I thought the context was missing
