Sanders will have his opportunity to answer those criticisms if he gets....
.... the nomination. I think you may be overestimating how gawd-awful terrified a lot of people (including what IMO is an widely-underestimated number of 45 voters from 2016, as well as some who simply couldn't bring themselves to vote for either out of abject contempt for both) are at hearing {cue spooky music} socialism. Especially so once the effort to further the message of and provide a more thorough rebrand of 'Democratic Socialism' has had weeks and months to marinate.
Conservatives have been calling liberal policies 'socialist' since god-knows when and they've been calling Democrats 'socialists' for at least several decades. While not ruling out your take on things, I find it more likely that there are thousands enough potential voters in the battleground states for whom Sanders' message will resonate and whose decency will be in stark contrast to the past years of scandal and lies.
