This is a common layman misconception. The term "hitler" isn't actually based on how much the candidate engages in human rights abuses: it's just a marker of how widely voters recognize them as "hitler-y" (to use the technical term).
A fun fact: within the field of meme political science it's recognized that if we did apply a quantitative rubric, ALL of the US Presidents are actually hitlers!
I like Porter. AOC needs a rest, I think.
I used to be really captivated by her leadership, but in the last few years, I think things have gotten complicated. Perhaps I'm being too forgiving, but during Biden's presidency it seemed like she lost her nerve to stick her neck out for what she believed in more and more. Maybe I'm inventing things, but I get the sense that January 6th scared the fucking shit out of her. I think her life flashed before her eyes, and afterwards she felt like being among the most progressive voices while trying not to rock the boat too much or draw too much personal attention from the right was enough, and that challenging Democrats on their bullshit was too stressful and risky.
If that's the case, I don't blame her. I still admire what she's done, but she does not have the spark she once did.
