This is the kind of situation Melenchon could only have dreamed of. His coalition self-sacrificed to help stop the right, they were very obviously screwed over by Macron in such a historic dick move that I'm seeing it on my local news in the middle of bumfuck USA, and now he doesn't have to tie himself to Macron's sadistic neoliberal agenda in a governing coalition.

It's ok comrades, Uncle Joe Biden has sent a strongly worded letter to corporate bosses to please stop with shrinkflation. We are saved

I'd push back on that, some people are better leaders than others and in a pinch there will always be people who are better able to guide a group through a challenging situation. Of course the people promoted as "leaders" under capitalism are more like petty tyrants than actual leaders. Most great leaders I know IRL are working class people who genuinely care about others and will help out without any expectations for a reward

I've definitely seen a version of this map that only showed Ukrainian gains. So other papers' editorial battles must have gone differently
