Socialism is a political ideology that the Democrats embrace pieces of in their platform, however individual candidates (even some GOP ones) tend to embrace more or less depending on their personal stance. Sanders embraces more socialism than Clinton does, plain and simple.
Of course saying this would just raise hackles because we mistakenly see socialism as a bad word that the hawkish "conservatives" over the years that have painted an image of socialism that does not accurately represent what the political ideology is actually all about. So she skirts the conversation because she doesn't want to cause a ruckus by telling the truth and wasn't quick enough to come up with a slick way to make it sound better or answering the question without answering it in a way that no one would notice.
