that's just describing one of the processes by which the dem machine consumes people, IMO. I don't think it's a meaningful distinction.
Like, it doesn't matter if Zohran is the greatest dude ever in his personal life & the sentiments of his heart are Super Communist and he's just hiding his power level. if the pressure from the dem machine forces him to take a public position & actions that are aligned with imperialism, then he's just being an imperialist. extra perplexing/spineless in this case since he's slated to win handily.
