I don't think you know what irony means. Nor do I think you know what counterpart means.

Counterpart:

noun. a person or thing closely resembling another, especially in function.

They're politicians in the same political party. Close enough.

No, StoryTime, it's not close enough. It's not close at all. "Especially in function" is what you don't understand.

Mayor de Blasio's counterpart in Chicago would be Mayor Lightfoot: they have the same job in the other's system, they're both Mayors. Mayor de Blasio's counterpart in the Democratic party... doesn't make much sense. There's only one Mayor of New York, and it's Mayor de Blasio. He doesn't HAVE another counterpart in the Democratic Party. You could maybe say that Mayor de Blasio has a counterpart in the Republican party, and, I don't know who, I guess you could pick a prominent city mayor that the Republicans have and you could argue that THEY'RE counterparts.

But what you wrote just doesn't make sense. The three people you're talking about have COMPLETELY different jobs in the Democratic party. They do not do the same things. They're not counterparts to each other in any way shape or form. You don't know what it means.

Your comment makes me glad that the US is a multi party form of government. If that's what you believe then I take my comment and truths elsewhere.

This is literally about what words mean. The United States government does not redefine the word "counterpart". Grow up! A mature person would go "ok, so, I should be asking myself what the word I ACTUALLY wanted to say was".

A mature person would argue the intention of the OP instead of nitpicking and deflecting, on stupid shit like semantics, every chance they could.

He always tries to derail memes critical of Dems with any little debate trick.

Some people will never learn. Too opinionated with hatred towards the other party. Like I said, glad there's a multiparty system in our government. Otherwise we'd be eating the garbage and filth these people spew.

I *DID* start by disputing that there was even irony in this at all, didn't I? Read my original comment again.

But we're not even going to BEGIN to get to that argument if we can't even agree on what words actually mean.

I put the definitions in the posts. Are you rewriting the dictionary too?

Yep. So you can sprinkle your opinion on mine......your hostility towards mine shows immaturity too.

I think you're just trolling me at this point. You're saying wrong things on purpose. A representative is not a mayor's superior, nor their subordinate. A congressional rep is not subordinate to not superior to a governor. They're peers. They're colleagues. They're doing different functions in the same line of work.

A governor IS superior to a mayor but that's as far as you can say.

And as I say, I think you know it, you just think you're getting something out of being obnoxious about it.

It's not opinion, IT'S THE DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF THE WORD. YOU EVEN QUOTED IT TO ME YOURSELF, EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT!

Counterpart:

noun. a person or thing closely resembling another, especially in function.

AOC: Politician (Democrat)
DiBlasio: Politican (Democrat)
Cuomo: Politician (Democrat)

Three people that closely resemble politicians that function as spokespeople for the Democratic platform.

Seems close enough to me...

But what do I know. I didn't study semantics and the English dictionary. Nor did I go to Oxford, Yale, or Harvard to study the Oxford dictionary. Just your average every day computer and network technician. By the way I appreciate your opinion. I'm also entitled to mine.

PS: If you don't agree with my definition should I then refer to them as "Partners in Crime"? Because I think it's a crime that people are dying in the streets from this COVID crap too.

He still hasn't learned. Doesn't know what the difference between a peer and counterpart are. Thinks Democrats are the only party in the United States. Starts a war of words with strangers. Is this what the country is becoming? Sure seems like it. Like I said, I have the power to stop the argument by ignoring the poster. But I chose to try and educate them. Unfortunately they chose not to be educated with terms out of the dictionary. That's their choice.

If you're asking me what the formal word is, it's actually "peers". They're peers within their party. If you're specifically trying to propaganda this by using manipulating words that simultaneously broadcast your messaging, then yes, your phrase is a more Orwellian way of saying it. Either way, it's definitely not counterpart.

Sorry. AOC is a House Representative. Still a different rank.
[deleted]
0 ups, 4y
Sorry. I differ again. I consider peers a more equal position. They're different positions.

Peer:

1 : a person of the same rank or kind

One is a Senator, one is a governor, and one is a mayor. Different ranks. Therefore counterparts. Not necessarily peers.

Still doesn't change the fact they didn't care at the time.

Funny how they deflect about semantics while avoiding your point. De Blasio didn't care when his constituents were being forced into care houses to kill the weak or that hospital ship not being utilized. Neither did aoc. Antip**is uses this tactic all the time when it comes to Dem hypocracy.

Yeah, they attack people exposing them and sweep the evidence under the rug.
