What's the point in looking childish when talking about stuff that's kind of important? They might as well say "u r dum lol" or something, it looks that cringe-worthy, yet I see it all the time. Maybe it's trolls, trying to convince smart people to choose the other side? |
Politics is angry stuff so these nicknames serve to demonize whoever you're against. Insults and informative posts go hand in hand in politics, doesn't matter if it's a debate or if it's a circlejerk, it's like a tradition.
It's pretty dumb but what can you do?
