Campaigns for the election of regional chief executives in the past three months have exposed the dirty side of democracy. Most candidates running for office this Wednesday have fallen into the trap of debating primordial issues, instead of proposing anything substantive. Meanwhile their supporters, particularly in Jakarta, have even been using religious and racial sentiment in their campaigns. News reports attacking candidates have appeared in social media. Fake news has spread widely. This show of hatred, which endangers social harmony, has been served up in the most brutal fashion. There are too few supporters with a basic understanding on how to assess issues raised by the candidates. Debates on the Internet often have no substance and tend to be uncivil. The same topics crop up on the campaign stage: attacks left and right and a surfeit of promises. The crowds at rallies are supplied with gossip that only intensifies the friction between rival groups.
