I don't see anyone spreading fear uncertainty and doubt. From either user you are talking about. That was totally unworthy of a user report to, by the way. The fuck do you care if some user as an alt name? That's allowed on Lemmy. Lots of people have alt names. And neither user is banned from this community anyway. So what the fuck are you going on about?!
As for saying things will get better after people over 50 die, is a pretty lazy way to look at politics. People over 50 aren’t one giant voting bloc, and younger people aren’t automatically wiser or more moral. A lot of people over 50 fought for civil rights, women’s rights, labor rights, gay rights, environmental protections, and anti-war causes. Plenty still do. The real problem is bad leadership, money in politics, weak civic knowledge, and people of every age not paying attention.
There are more voting-age Americans under 50 than over 50, so if younger people want change, they already have the numbers to matter.
