I am a fanatically anti-Communist refugee from the former eastern bloc and completely agree with what Sanders and his wife said here. The Moscow metro is pretty! Youth programs in the USSR were nice! This is an attack attempt so shoddy it could only have been made in America. https://twitter.com/lindyli/status/1228717543105454089 …
The video is a brief clip from a 1988 discussion of a trip to Russia. I don't see what you can reasonably demand of Sanders here—that he have no past at all?

He has a right to his past, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. He has made other questionable comments (about Venezuela, Cuba under Castro, etc) and it's fair to consider what they say in aggregate about his governing philosophy and/or electability.

If he were the only person potentially going up against Trump, that'd be one thing, but there are still other options. If there is a time to be picky, it's now.
