You might be getting downvoted because many people know Python is among the slower dynamic languages, and there are other reasons to use it. Speaking for myself, the reasons that make me reach for Python for some projects are the speed of development, large ecosystem of libraries, large developer pool, and pretty good tooling/IDE support.
then it would be much preferable if they said so explicitly, although both of those are points I already know well. both are common knowledge, not just the first, i e. the slowness. the productivity and other benefits are common knowledge too.
downvoting is such a fucking dumb way of disagreeing. how does one know whether the downvote is because a person disapproves of or dislikes what one said or because they think what one said is wrong. no way to know. amirite? :)
