💌 Chers centristes, démocrates, Macronistes, hésitants, abstentionnistes et autres sceptiques, vraie question : qu'est-ce qui vous empêche de voter contre le RN ce dimanche ?
❤️ Vous n'êtes ni raciste, ni antisémite, ni homophobe, ni sexiste, n'est-ce pas ?
Le RN a des chances d'obtenir la majorité absolue, à partir de 289 sièges. Ce qui signifie très probablement Jordan Bardella ou Marine Le Pen à Matignon. ⚠️ La cohabitation avec l'extrême-droite nous pend bien au nez.
N'ayez crainte : quoi qu'il arrive, Mélenchon ne pourra pas être Premier Ministre (et aucune autre personnalité de gauche). C'est impossible, c'est mathématique. Probabilité: zéro. Nada. Pas assez de sièges à l'Assemblée pour une cohabitation avec ce bord.
Les candidats du Front Populaire arrivés 3èmes se sont retirés pour éviter des triangulaires qui pourraient affaiblir votre parti. La consigne a été très claire:
- pour le candidat NFP: retrait
- pour l'électorat de gauche: barrage au RN dans la circo en péril. C'est à dire voter, même à contre-coeur, pour un candidat qui ne nous plaît pas du tout. Un candidat qui n'incarne pas nos valeurs, mais qui reste dans l'arc républicain.
C'est ça, être démocrate. Tenir à la République.
Si dans votre circonscription, vous savez que cela se joue, en vérité, entre le RN et le NFP: qu'est-ce qui vous empêche de voter pour le NFP dans le but de contrer le RN❓
Pourquoi voter pour votre candidat si vous savez qu'il n'a pratiquement pas de chance de passer ? Ou pourquoi vous abstenir ? Ou voter blanc ?
Ce qui se joue dimanche, c'est avant-tout d'éviter de donner trop de pouvoir à l'extrême-droite. Celle-ci arrive pas les urnes. Et après... Ouvrez les manuels scolaires de vos enfants, au chapitre sur la montée du nazisme et l'arrivée d'Hitler au gouvernement.
💥 Notre régime constitutionnel est si centralisé, la concentration des pouvoirs est si forte, que notre état de droit ne tiendrait pas plus de 18 mois face à un choc autoritaire.
Vous trouvez que j'exagère ? 👉 Lisez le portrait des candidats que Bardella espère que vous ne lirez pas, sur mediapart.fr (lien en commentaire). Il y en a + de 100, plusieurs ont été condamnés pour des faits qui devraient vous interroger.
Vous n'êtes ni raciste, ni antisémite, ni homophobe, ni sexiste, n'est-ce pas ?
Alors faites barrage à l'extrême-droite. 🌵 Je sais, c'est âpre. Ne pas voter "pour" quelqu'un qu'on soutient, mais "contre" pour faire barrage, c'est désagréable, mais on s'en remet.
Le pire qui puisse arriver si vous votez NFP, c'est simplement qu'il y ait une opposition à l'assemblée. Des débats démocratiques. Rien de plus. ❤️
Le pire qui puisse arriver si vous vous abstenez / votez blanc / persistez dans une circonscription en péril... J'ai parlé des livres d'histoire. Si vous êtes plutôt docu ou podcasts, surtout faites-vous plaisir.
Rappel: ⛔ NFP ≠ LFI 🍦 LFI n'est OBJECTIVEMENT pas "extrême" ✅ Le programme NFP a été validé par 300 économistes reconnus
Vous avez certainement vu ou entendu cette fake news 🍦 (Une fake news est une "nouvelle mensongère diffusée dans le but de manipuler ou de tromper le public" —Wikipédia).
Et vous l'avez certainement tellement vue et entendue, ici et là ces derniers mois, que vous avez probablement intégré qu'elle était vraie.
Car elle est vraiment sur toutes les bouches, de la cage d'escalier à la machine à café en passant par l'Elysée, sans oublier les plus grandes rédactions et plateaux télé. Cette fake news, c'est "LES EXTRÊMES" 😱
Le Conseil d'Etat (plus haute juridiction administrative du pays) est formé et formel : 🟥 LFI est "juste" de gauche 🔥 Le RN est bien d'extrême-droite (Reconquête aussi)
Ainsi, n'en déplaise à notre Président, c'est totalement faux et anti-Républicain de mettre sur le même plan le NFP et le RN, comme s'ils étaient à l'opposé d'un spectre où "Renaissance" serait au centre.
MINI COURS DE SCIENCES POLITIQUES (partagez, c'est cadeau) :
——— CHAPITRE 1 ———
L'extrême-DROITE peut revêtir différentes formes : les fascistes, les nazis, les royalistes, les suprémacistes, les fondamentalistes sont d'extrême-droite. Par ex. Pétain ou Trump, Bolsonaro ou Meloni, Zemmour ou la famille Le Pen.
Même si leurs représentant·es peuvent passer pour des enfants de coeur ou des super influenceurs, ces mouvements que l'on dit "réactionnaires" (par opposition auxdits "progressistes") ont comme points communs : ◼️ Le racisme et la xénophobie ◼️ L'autoritarisme et la suppression de libertés individuelles
L'extrême-droite se différencie notamment de la droite conservatrice et libérale par des discours "anti-élite" qui peuvent séduire les classes populaires (mais pas que).
——— CHAPITRE 2 ———
Les partis d'extrême-GAUCHE, en France, c'est NPA et Lutte Ouvrière. Des visages comme Philippe Poutou, Olivier Besancenot, Arlette Laguiller ou Nathalie Arthaud.
Ces trotskistes, anarchistes, marxistes, antifascistes ou autres révolutionnaires luttent pour : 🔴 L'abolition du capitalisme 🔴 L'instauration d'une société égalitaire, où aucune classe sociale ne domine l'autre
Aux dernières élections françaises, ils récoltent moins de 3% des voix.
L'extrême-gauche se distingue de la gauche dite "réformiste".
——— CHAPITRE 3 ———
La "gauche réformiste" ne cherche qu'à optimiser les structures existantes par des modifications progressives des lois et des budgets.
Ce sont, en gros, les partis au sein de la NUPES ou du Nouveau Front Populaire. Pas de haine structurelle, mais des propositions tout à fait raisonnables (avec lesquelles on est d'accord ou pas, évidemment) et validées par plusieurs économistes reconnu·es.
FIN DU COURS
Si les journalistes, footballeurs et responsables politiques disaient moins d'âneries, on pourrait profiter de la pause dej pour aller manger une glace, au lieu d'essayer de remettre les pendules à l'heure sur les réseaux sociaux.

It functions as a beautiful rolodex and CRM available on iPhone, Mac, Windows, and web, built automatically to help manage your network efficiently. Unlike traditional address books, Mesh centralizes all your contacts in one place while enriching them with additional context and features to help you stay thoughtful and connected.
Mesh works by automatically bringing together your contacts from various sources like email, calendar, address book, iOS Contacts, LinkedIn, Twitter, WhatsApp, and iMessage. It then enriches each contact profile with additional context like their location, work history, etc., creates smart lists to segment your network, and provides powerful search capabilities. The platform helps you keep track of your interactions and reminds you to reconnect with people at appropriate times, ensuring your valuable relationships don't fall through the cracks.
Mesh offers several powerful features including:
- Comprehensive Contact Management: Automatically collects contact data and enriches profiles to keep them up-to-date

It’s even used by half the Fortune 500! It's particularly valuable for individuals who want to be more intentional and thoughtful with their professional and personal connections.
Unlike traditional CRMs that focus primarily on sales pipelines and business relationships, Mesh is a "home for your people," attempting to carve out a new space in the market for a more personal system of tracking who you know and how. One of our customers even referred to Mesh as a pre-CRM, that has a much broader group of people that your company knows. Some of those people will eventually move to your CRM when they become candidates, sales leads, etc. Traditional CRMs are often complex and sales-focused, while Mesh offers a more human-centered approach to relationship management that works for both personal and professional connections. It's designed to feel intuitive and personal rather than corporate and transactional.
Mesh takes privacy seriously. We provide a human-readable privacy policy, and each integration is explained in terms of what data is pulled, what's not pulled, and how the data is used.

Mesh makes it much easier to stay in touch with the people you care about.

Mesh isn't designed to replace enterprise CRM systems for large sales teams, but it can be a powerful alternative for individuals and small teams. Many people use Mesh instead of Salesforce, Hubspot, and Pipedrive. Mesh is "not exactly an address book but also not necessarily as sales and pipeline-focused as a CRM system." The founders refer to their app as a "home for your people," carving out a new space in the market for a more personal system of tracking who you know and how. For solo entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small teams focused on relationship quality rather than sales pipelines, Mesh can absolutely serve as your primary relationship management tool.
