So many things to unpack here I don’t even know where to get started.

    In slightly hopeful news, Mélenchon isn't too far behind Macron. Maybe he could make it to the second round against Le Pen?

      This is only among young people, Melenchon's strongest (and Macron's weakest) demographic. Macron and Le Pen are still miles ahead of everyone else in the first round.

      Everyone on the right of Mélenchon would encourage people to vote Le Pen in this case. This isn't a joke. In 2016 every mainstream TV channel were "sounding the alarm" on the rise of "populism", which meant Mélenchon, while they allowed Le Pen to calmly climb up the ladder.
