In a follow-up post, Mika further elaborated on her sentiments regarding personal attacks and public discussions about government issues. She pointed out how conversations that should focus on public concerns often become centered on attacking individuals instead.

Even in conversations about people’s frustrations with the government, some of you still choose to focus on attacking individuals instead of the actual issue.”
