People expect way too much from elections. Change doesn’t come from elections. Change happens in daily life: in human relationships, in information bubbles, in protests, in conversations, in people showing up where it counts.
Elections aren’t the source of progress. They’re dangerous single points of failure. This time, at least, it looks like France avoided the worst.
