While I like the access to information and how social media allows us to better connect with politicians and other voters/activists, I feel like too many people abuse social media and hide behind fake accounts to criticize, troll, spread misinformation and be hurtful to others. Also, thanks to the algorithms of the different platforms, too often I feel like we only hear from those who are like minded and I don't feel like we hear enough from those we disagree with, therefore putting us in echo chambers

i think social media has both positively and negatively impacted politics because it gives people an outlet to express their opinions, but it also can be a toxic place as it tends to spark arguments over social media and that is not what we want, we want to have healthy discussions over difficult topics, like politics.
