To vote for the yellow line, use a brick as a ballot and [redacted] as the ballot box.
Although in practice a general strike would be most effective, it’s just very hard to organize and reach critical mass.

One option is to put a reverse tariff on Haiti, this way you stimulate their export economy regardless who is in charge. In general an economically stable and growing country also tends to be more politically stable.
Edit: a more realistic scenario is that France gives a bunch of money with the condition it is spend on French weapons or other French export products. So in actuality a hidden subsidy for the French economy, this is also how Germany ‘compensated’ for the holocaust to Israel.
I remember when the Guardian was the good newspaper that proudly published the Wikileaks documents, sad to see them turn into the Terf Stasi.
Just like a hammer, political protest is a tool. Using a hammer to smash a nail in a wall: good. Using a hammer to smash someones brain in: bad.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck; it is not a duck.
Look at the results: one of the lowest retirement ages is Europe, universal healthcare, very progressive tax system. Maybe if Americans disconnected Joe Manchin from the electrical grid and made Washington DC a no go zone once in a while they would actually get something done.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.
Biden is creating lots of blue-collar jobs at the crocodile-tear factory.
I know there are a lot of upper-class Tories with a stick up their ars that voted Brexit, but if I think of a Brexit voter this is what I see.
I wouldn’t care if it looked like a giant cock and balls if I had a dedicated high-speed-rail station in my city. It also looks like it has serious capacity with three separate approaching rail corridors.
Germany hast lost the plot.
I’m not a fan of American foreign policy at all, but following the European news lately I don’t know if our governments can be trusted without the US providing security.
I fear that the moment European nations need to be serious about their own defense they become way less trustful of their neighbors, creating all the incentives for an arms race. Especially with the current crop of nationalist politicians it’s not hard to imagine a serious cool down in the relationship between a France and a Germany lead by Le Pen and the AFD (in a coalition government or not). In such a world it’s suddenly way less pleasant to be a smaller nation that can not seriously compete with Germany or France.
I really hope I’m wrong and that we truly learned the lesson from the second word war, but I think not needing to provide our own security plays at least a role in the relative peace within the EU member states.
