“I’m not going to demonize people who are otherwise orthodox Christians simply because they believe that socialism is a better system than capitalism, or because they vote Democratic. Theology is not politics, and politics is not theology.”

No one who is an otherwise orthodox Christian believes that socialism is a better system than capitalism (properly defined), and no one who is an otherwise orthodox Christian votes demonrat (except perhaps some of the elderly).

It is no longer possible to be a socialist and a decent person, or a demonrat and a decent person.

Theology most certainly is politics, and vice versa, and it could not be otherwise.

That’s a very dangerous conflation of Christianity with conservatism you have there.
