Macron is foolish if he believes he can appeal to core-core solidarity, because from the perspective of the US no such thing exists. The correct approach is for Europe to break from the US and chart a more independent path.

I don't know these campaigns myself.
But I'm confident a big reason the Greens got +16.7% in one and -5.5% in the other is ordinary people going door to door or not.

This really is the crux of it. It's bad enough that Trump is doing all this shit. The truly damning thing about our nation is that our government institutions are letting him continue doing it.
Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him
