if macron wins he is certain to become as unpopular as hollande is and thankfully melenchon learned that an outside party is the way to not get ratfucked by the centrists in the center-left party so maybe he or someone else has a chance of beating le pen in the next election because the trick of "run a centrist guy but pretend he's radical and outside the two parties" probably won't work again

melenchon was campaigning to tear up the constitution and create the sixth republic with far less centralized power so it would be weird if some of the people who voted for that didn't want to vote for a status quo candidate

Good thing they didn't elect an open fascist

yeah, that's absolutely a plus and a better outcome than what happened in eg the US. but im not convinced that treating the symptom (discarding the brands of the mainstream parties because of their crumbling popularity) rather than the cause (the mainstream parties becoming unpopular by repeatedly doubling down on horrifically unpopular austerity policies and looking corrupt and insensitive to voters' concerns) will prove an effective long-term strategy
