And what would a cogent counter-argument consist of? How about ...

(1) The ACA is not a ship.

(2) If the ACA were a ship, it is highly unlikely that it would be a  cruise ship.

(3) If the ACA were a cruise ship, it is unlikely that both Hickenlooper and Kasich would be on the same voyage.

(4) If they were on the same voyage, it is unlikely that they would both serve as stewards.

(5) If they were stewards, it is unlikely that they would both shuffle the chairs at the same time.

Etc. You get the idea. There's no counter-argument for Kim80's allegory. Nor is there a counter-argument for a misnomer, except to point out that neither Hick nor Kasich could even remotely be called socialists. To call either of them socialists is to betray a woeful ignorance of what socialism actually is. That's something that one points out - not something that one counters via argument.
