NOWHERE have I suggested what part of her tweet needs to be focused on. I simply called BS on her point that others "missed the point" of her tweet. You don't put a point in all caps, get called on the ignorance of the point, and then get to claim others "missed the point".

I call out Trump's BS quite frequently. But I understand you're with Dino and his assertion that I said folks MUST focus on that point, was not disingenuous.

I don't know if it was disingenuous. I just found it quite clear what AOC's point was and saw your attempts to claim otherwise that weren't very convincing.
Her point was to relate income to the cost of everyday things (like a LaGuardia croissant, maybe not the best example, but ok). which is a fair comparison to make, whether one agrees with her conclusion or not (that one hour of hard work should buy a person two LaGuardia croissants). Ted Cruz, oh the humanity, claiming she wants "government-mandated free croissants for everyone #socialistlogic" was quite an unfair misrepresentation. To a point where I think to be on his side one has to prejudge her for being her a little.

And yeah I know you call Trump out too at times, but your measure stick seems to be way stricter in this case. I'd bet without proof that if Trump got slammed for something like that, you'd call it TDS and would have a point.

I figured it was to prove she meant something else as Dino claimed she meant. Like that she slammed LaGuardia croissants and hence hates free market prices and whatnot. Which, again, was not her point quite clearly.
