Look how hard they went in on Bernie because he said that Castro's literacy programs worked. He was still talking about how much of an evil dictator Castro was, but they jumped down his throat either way. Literacy became bad overnight.
AOC is not, never has been, and likely never will be a communist. But she is the far left of US politics, and should be half-embraced and pulled left by half supporters who can point out how dumb these takes are. That's basically the definition of critical support.
They went hard on Bernie because he was seeking to disrupt the political establishment, not because he made a positive comment about Cuba. There's no sense in biting your tongue to appease a media that is against your political agenda.
