I support progressive ends. I think the financial meltdown in 2008 revealed the excesses of capitalism sufficiently to provide an opportunity for social democratic methods to gain currency. Mr. Sanders’ rise indicates this. But I do not support the pursuit of progressive ends via fascistic means. And lying and insinuating things (just look at the comments to this thread to see how successful the insinuation has been) is fascistic. It relies on the idea that the end justifies the means.
