    “this is GOOD socialism, not that BAD socialism"

    But she's not saying that. She's not even talking about socialism -- she's talking about stuff like Medicare for All.

    The question was a bad-faith attempt to suck her into a debate about foreign countries most people in America know nothing about; it's a derailment tactic. It's good she didn't take the bait. If you talk about universal healthcare -- and overwhelmingly popular policy -- people listen. If you talk about the Soviet Union (at least in this context) people tune out.
