Definition

Partisan segregation refers to the separation or division of individuals based on their political party affiliation. It is the practice of separating people into different groups or communities based on their political beliefs. This can result in a lack of interaction and understanding between individuals with different political views, leading to increased polarization and social divisions. Partisan segregation can be observed in various aspects of society, including residential areas, workplaces, and social media networks, where like-minded individuals tend to surround themselves with others who share similar political ideologies.
