political discourse

The figure depicts a co-retweet network where nodes correspond to individual politicians and an edge is drawn between two nodes if those politicians share common retweeters (see “Methods”). Square nodes correspond to politicians classified as members of the ideological right, star nodes correspond to politicians classified as members of the ideological left, as determined using the latent ideology (see Fig. 2). The network visualization is produced using a force directed drawing algorithm (see “Methods”), in which repulsive forces are applied between pairs of nodes to push nodes apart, and attractive forces are applied to any pair of nodes which are connected by an edge. Nodes are colored according to the country of each elected politician. Canada: Pink, France: Green, Germany: Gray, Italy: Purple, Poland: Blue, Spain: Orange, Turkey: Brown, United Kingdom: Yellow, United States: Red.
