Remind me: Is the chief political advisor to the dude who let months of a Senate super majority go to waste bc of a desire to appear to engage Republicans, all while staged faux-riots were burning up the month of August? How'd that work for building an enduring legacy, Axe?https://twitter.com/davidaxelrod/status/1011417584753881088 …

Read your tweets. Take out everything that is an attack on Axelrod as a person and see what's left.
-
But you have yet to point to ANYTHING that IS an attack on him. The ONLY reference I made to him was as chief political advisor, which is 1) true 2) neutral wrt character.
-
Read your tweet. Axlerod is making a point about X, and your response to his tweet is essentially "This comment is coming from the loser who did Y". There's nothing in your tweet about the substance of his argument.

Let me explain this slowly for you, bc you're struggling. 1) Axe made a comment abt necessity of civility. 2) Axe largely chose the policy of civility and bipartisanship that Obama employed. 3) That policy has outcomes that can be measured.
-
4) If we measure how successful Obama was at implementing policies that stuck (ACA and Iran, among others), that policy failed. 5) It failed bc Dems didn't use their huge majority to consolidate power, instead choosing "civility."

So, no. The comment was not only not an ad hom attack, it was a direct response to Axe's comment to show how in the past such advice had proven to be catastrophically wrong.
