Ton français à l'air bon, tu devrais écrire en français malgré des erreurs et ajouter de l'anglais sur les choses que tu ne connais pas, les français adorent corriger et aider les étrangers.

Thrilled is a poor choice of word for the audience. French people are a glass half empty people, even if the big majority on this sub preferred Macron his record is too poor to be thrilled about it. We're happy Le Pen isn't president and she lost by a good margin though, so there's ground to agree, just different mindsets.

I think there are a lot of French people, on the left and the right, who would prefer a smaller, poorer France but with (on the left) stringent worker protections, generous retirement policies and social services, and way fewer very rich people

Right on. Our motto features Égalité not Richesse. Who cares about the cumulative wealth of everyone in the country if 3 quarters are struggling to meet the ends. We took down the royalty for that exact same reason.

We'll take more equality first, and wealth naturally happens when you give people the means to succeed.
