Survival manual for the electoral period

The article urges readers to treat their political opponents with respect and humanity during election periods. It advises against using derogatory terms such as "zurdo", "facha", and "fascista" to refer to rivals, as this can impoverish dialogue and not change voting outcomes. The author suggests that aggressive opponents are often driven by fear, and that responding aggressively can exacerbate this fear. The article promotes a more considerate and respectful approach to political discourse.
