How can I get YouTube to not offer rage-inducing stuff?
Currently in the US elections are featured in my YouTube feed, and not factual content but rage inducing.
How can I filter that?

Terrible advice, you deny yourself the best tool you have against this, curating your watch history.
clear your cache
Fair, if you absolutely refuse to create an account, then this is your only option.
use a vpn
I am an IT technician, and people need to cool it with yelling for other's to use a VPN constantly, a VPN service doesn't really add anything to your privacy, well, it adds another link in the chain that you need to trust, the only thing your should use a general VPN for is watching region locked content. If you want privacy, use TOR running in a VM.

—- Person 1: phone is constantly being harassed by spammers and scammers with spoofed numbers, calling person 1 by name, mentioning their make and model of car, etc.
Person 2: doesn’t own a phone —-
Person 2 is better off. I think it’s pretty good advice.

What, I have never been harrased by callers because I have my phone registered on youtube/google.
EDIT: Also you can skip adding your phone number to google:
