re: #265 Hecuba’s daughter

Max Boot is a jerk and his comparison of AOC to Palin shows a real failure of understanding but much of his column was very complimentary to Alexandria and her skills; he criticized Sarah for making no efforts to master policy details and was basically advising the Congresswoman to be quiet until she acquires in-depth knowledge of issues. He does think she has real potential. Of course, he fails to recognize that real change is led not by those with intricate understanding of the minutiae of policy, but those who care about problems and inspire others to follow them to find solutions.

That’s not complimentary. And he did no such thing when Sarah Palin was running for office and not even elected.

The only reason he’s (mildly) rebuking Sarah Palin is so he can make a false equivalency to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

It is telling how much conservatives fear her. Good.
