Summary

This quote suggests that in politics, when one starts to complain about their opponent's behavior being mean, unfair, and uncivil, it often implies that they are on the losing side. It implies that resorting to criticizing the other person's character rather than focusing on the issues at hand may be a sign of weakness and a lack of solid arguments or strategy. It underlines the importance of maintaining a strong position and remaining focused on substantive discussions rather than personal attacks.
