Meanwhile the left could keep Le Pen out of the runoff entirely if they united around Mélenchon, but nah.

    Admittedly I also didn’t vote in the second round last time

    That part is fine. If the choice is neolib or right-winger it's not a choice and there's no point in voting.

    But not voting for Melenchon in the first round sounds like a horrible idea.

    I understood your question to mean

    Sorry, wasn't my question, maybe I interpreted it wrong.

      Fair point. It just feels like pissing in the wind at this point, but who knows.

      I'm a moron, sorry, I thought you were the OP of the comment I originally responded to.

        Better than voting for a guy with 1% support and therefore helping guarantee the second round has no good options.

          Does it matter if no good option can go through anyway ?

          I'm also pretty tired of this "useful vote" rhetoric - it's a common theme here in France - and quite frankly at this point I tend choose to vote for the candidate I feel the closest to ideologically, regardless of other factors. Though I'll be honest, you've made me doubt that.
