- Is it the official French stance to omit the Oxford comma?
  
  It's only an Oxford comma if it's from the region of Oxford. Otherwise it's just sparkling interpunction.
  
  Cambridge, Massachusetts has entered the chat, with a classical English accent.
  
  That's the topic of the next debate.
  
  Correct, no comma before the last element if it is preceded by a conjunction (e.g. "et", that is "and" in English) in French
  
  I mean, reading that sentence, it certainly wouldn't surprise me if they omitted it just to spite the British.
  
  just to spite the British
  A fine justification, no matter the situation
  
  Yes,
- WE 👏STAN👏BOM-👏PARD👏
  The thing that's pissing me off though is that the centrist party decided it would rather demonize the left than the alt right, I suppose they know they already lost and are trying to get as many votes off of those they know might vote for them (some socialists).
  
  Centerists will always attack the left rather than the right. They are actually right wingers that don't want the social stigma that goes with admitting that you're right wing. Once the progressives have been killed off by the right wing, the liberals will take the mask off.
  The lot of them are cowards and the left is a whole lot less scary than the right, since we don't go on random killing sprees frequently.
- The vibes I get from the French left in social media remind me of the days when Podemos (in Spain) was soaring. It gives me a bit of hope. Good luck.
