In reply to the discussion: Waleed Shahid wants a war within the party. [View all]Celerity
(55,357 posts)39. lol, spare me the feigned perplexity
I don't know who the two people you're talking about
That is just a whole new level of disingenuousness and pettifogging, as I clearly was talking AOC and Chakrabarti, plus provided a link to that as well, just to remove all doubt, a link to my post that has those 2 people as MY subject of that post of mine, and why the old OP article is no longer germane when it comes to those two people's framings that the article does.
The time stamps betray you George, you had ALREADY read my post about AOC and Chakrabarti AND replied to it BEFORE you now claim to not know whom I was speaking of now
here you are at 4 11 replying to my AOC/Chakrabarti post

and now here you are at 4 18 claiming ignorance as to whom I was speaking (and again I specifically pit the link in to my reply to you)

you, with that reply directly above, were speaking to my post here: (again it has the link back to original post I made, just to remove all doubt)

birds eye view of all this, showing that you claim is attempted sophistry and not factual

now, as to the OP articles subjects, (the 2 that I was talking about, AOC and Chakrabarti, I made zero claims about other subjects in the OP article):
The OP article starts out by focussing on Saikat Chakrabarti (and because it is old, it is two years out of date in regards to calling him AOC's chief of staff), he is literally the first one quoted.
Then, after the first line break in the article, AOC is then focussed upon.
starting here

Again, I clearly linked to my post to whom I was referring to in my reply to you
here

there zero chance you did not know who I meant

The goal is even more so now. One only needs to subscribe to their email list to see that.
