This is a feature of the 5th Republic, and to be honest when you look at French politics from the outside I dont blame de Gaulle for creating it this way, your parliamentarians cannot compromise for shit.

I like how everyone has been assuming that I'm from the US

De Gaulle was basically a half-assed dictator by the way, who kept on taking advantage of the situation to try to get fame/power. The only, one good thing he did was fight against the parasites that the US and UK were, who wanted to just invade France and share it between themselves as spoils of war.

The two main causes for the failure of democracy in France in history are Napoleon and De Gaulle, and the fact that they are seen as heroes by french people (unsurprisingly, especially the right/far-right) definitely participated in the downfall of any democratic process in France.

The failure of the US system is in no way lessening the failure of the French democracy, but for some reason people can't seem to accept that and try to either defend one or the other. Yeah, France isn't actively mass torturing minorities. Yet. Give it, I don't know, 5-10 years? Right now is when people should be in the street burning everything down and putting Macaron and his government of Nazis under a guillotine, but instead they are busy worrying about Palestine supporters and minor immigrants (a big source of terrorism as everyone knows /s).
