I don't remember anyone complaining when Bernie or AOC are being called commies or marxists time after time.
This is not true too.
AOC is a Democratic Socialist. Their own website advocates for public ownership of the means of production. I don't think it's unfair to compare someone who supports this to a communist. Sanders, well he's just grifting. He may believe a lot of what he says, but no real socialist drives an Audi R10, owns multiple houses and is worth millions. Now, if they compared either of them to Stalin, pol Pot or Mao Zedong I'd have a problem with that, because those are extreme examples.
Just curious, do you have the same issues with people calling GOP members "fascists"? I don't recall seeing it but I could certainly have missed it.
