The difference is that, ideally, left-leaning people are mature enough to be able to criticize each other and still work together in the end against a common enemy agenda. Democrats and those farther left may disagree on HOW socialist the country needs to be, but we all agree that regulations and some level of wealth redistribution is good. We just squabble over whether incrementalism is the best way. The twitter post quoted earlier isn't that at all. There is a difference between criticizing ideas and criticizing them as people.
