The reality is that "democratic socialism" isn't really different from "authoritarian socialism." To impose socialism, you need to be able to rig people's choices and crap on the rights of resistors because you have to seize the means of production. Most people who call themselves socialists actually are capitalists who like welfare programs. They're too ignorant to know what socialism is. Bernie isn't ignorant. He's the real thing, but nobody calls on him to explain himself. So of course, he doesn't.
