The tight political competition in the 2017 DKI Jakarta Election left a negative impact in terms of language use, especially ones in social media. With the basis of Semantic-Pragmatic theory and the use of descriptive-qualitative data analysis method, it was discovered the fact that in term of discussing Jakarta Election 2017, people predominantly used sarcasm and cynicism style. When sarcasm is a satire style for saying bitter and harsh words and cynicism is a style of language containing doubt and ridicule; then the two were used in to satirize, ridicule, mock, and even put down a person/party in target. The use of sarcasm and cynicism style as a impolite language actually reflects the culture of linguistic poverty, it, then, has the potential to obscure the function of social media as a provider of information and facts that should educate.
