There is no doubt the new democratic party has indeed gone way leftward (witness Sanders...). Plus, one seemingly moderate democrat has acknowledged it already, but I'm not sure Hillary is getting a "pass". Sure, she is the "establishment" candidate as compared to Sanders, and sure, she did go leftward early to appeal to the leftwingers while retreating as a moderate once The Bern caught up to her, but it's obvious. Does the media need to point it out?

I guess this is a fair question. My answer would be that Hillary's worldview is political expediency.
Which leads to an underlying question that is rarely discussed: Have Democrats gone so far left that socialism really is their prevailing view? Is that what is being hidden from the public, by not forcing Clinton to express her true worldview instead of the far-left pitch that Sanders embodies?
