Coup in Bolivia 

Fun fact. I was there during a coup once. Happen all the time apparently.

[steviewevie]

Actually it wasn't really a coup...just lots of protests and strikes and road blocks and the president eventually resigned.

Sadly one appeared much more geriatric than the other. The Democrats have a responsibility to the entire world to ditch Biden and find a candidate who can defeat Trump.

He will be stepping down in January. Why wait?

Eh I'd say that's as much a concern next week as this one given the two-step French electoral process, although this first one sets up what way the battlegrounds look.

High turnout in French elections...everyone coming out to keep far right out...or to punish Macron?

[steviewevie]

A lot of people just voted far right in France.

Left and centre need to work together now to keep the far right out.

Seems mixed so far. In some areas, the message for collaboration seems to have got through, and in others, where Macron & his allies have issues with one of the parties in this new left coalition (namely Melenchon's), more persuasion might be required.
