The statement appears to be a friendly and supportive acknowledgment of an ongoing dialogue with public figures, specifically mentioning a conversation with @SocialistMMA. The content of the linked conversation suggests a political context, as it mentions Dr. Cornel West's involvement with the Green Party. However, the statement itself does not substantively engage with public issues or policies; it is more of a promotional activity related to public figures and an event. Therefore, it does not constitute public discourse as it does not contribute to civic dialogue on societal issues or policies.
