Mainly because older people aren’t spending their lives on Facebook and twitter, getting spoon fed with massive hate campaigns against the only remaining electable person who isn’t sold to the kremlin.

This seems like a win for once. Hard to believe the youth in France would be duped by the right wing hate of Le Pen and her ilk.

The youth wanted Melechon and then were forced between Macron and Le Pen..

This summary is too short.

As short as Macron's campaign ;)

People 60 and more voted massively in favour of Macron. Source (FR): https://www.leparisien.fr/elections/presidentielle/president...

The vote for Macron was predominant among the elderly. Number 3 Mélenchon (radical left) got the votes from the 35- (and he was one of the 2 candidates actually proposing something against climate change). Le Pen (#2, far right) was in first place in-between. It does not mean that everything is explained by age though.
