Extrapolating “I want people to think of countries they like when they hear socialism” to this is a stretch at best. It’s assuming the worst intentions and worst possible outcomes. That’s needlessly pessimistic – we’re getting nowhere if that’s how we criticize people who actually go out and try to move us left.

It’s a pattern. Obama endorsing her, meeting with those Bolivian coup supporters, deferring to party leadership on Venezuela, sanctioning China. At worst she’s an active anti-Communist and at best she’s a Social Democrat who is learning to operate Democratic Party machinery and being changed by it.

Again, this is reading the worst possible intentions into small (and mostly symbolic, if meaningful at all) actions, and ignoring all evidence to the contrary. We will fail if we treat each other like this.
