Huge Bernie supporter here and I’m concerned tbh. I don’t understand the reasoning for not calling a spade a spade...

Calling things for what they are is important. Bernie has made it clear on numerous occasions that he understands and respects this principle; he has done it many times in many situations regarding many problematic people and actions. So, it follows that he is not afraid of the word, or the reaction to the word, like many people would be. It seems he has a more strategic reasoning for not, not an ideological deficiency or whatever. 

So, this doesn't really make my impression of him waver much politically. I don't see this as him being weak on dictatorships or authoritarianism or any bs like that because he's the furthest from it. The optics may not work out for him in the long run though, as I'm sure this will be used by the Right to call him... any and everything under the sun. But perhaps he sees this as equally *as* damaging as literally anything he says or doesn't say ever.

You're clearly missing the point, but I can see this thread wasn't made for a productive dialogue, its about selective outrage. Peace

I don't defend alot of people on here or rather I don't defend anybody on here, but you can look at @Morphine Prince comments history to know he is a real Bernie supporter. I don't doubt that he made this thread with the best of intentions to have a healthy debate and dialogue.

It's not a spectrum tho, it's really just a circle where both extremes end up in the same place...

LOOOL no way. Centrists, neoliberal "Moderates" and Libertarians are the worst. Ayn Rand (who got health insurance security herself [!!!], yet blames socialism and social democracy and spoke against free healthcare), Milton Friedman and Friedrich Misek rot in hell. 

To put Social Justice and Feminism near Tyranny and Fascism is utterly ridiculous ...
