Mostly other users, but I don’t think calling ‘Politician T’ a derogative name really does a lot to really persuade anyone, or change anyones’ mind really on policy. I’d say it just kind of reinforces existing ‘tribal’ nature of each political party even further.
I think it’s better to talk about people and policies that we like rather than try to personally attack anyone.
Do we have to be respectful to the politicians or just the other users?
