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 …

Where did I say anything ad hom about Axe? The ONLY description OF HIM I made was "chief political advisor"? Is that not accurate, or are you just unsure what ad hom is?

Ad hominem , short for argumentum ad hominem, is a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument

Ad hominem doesn't just mean name calling. Your entire rebuttal is a personal attack on Axelrod. There's nothing at all about his argument. Sorry, I mostly agree with your tweets but not in this case.

That's not even grammatically correct. But even if conflated actions with person were a fair move, it would not be an ad hom attack, it would be criticism of policies stemming from his stance on civility.
