I'm not a fan of the govt. taking your money and redistributing it...which is EXACTLY what the politicians calling themselves "Democratic Socialists" are in favor of.
Why are you so hung up on it anyway? Thinking of being a "Democratic Socialist" yourself? Or maybe a "Republican Socialist" or any other thing with the word "Socialist" in it.
In politics Democrats used to run from words like Socialist and Communist. Now they seem to embrace the term Socialist ever since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won in the primary in New York.
Me? I don't care. Has nothing to do with this topic.
All I'm saying is that Democrats do NOT stand for the working blue collar men and women of this country as they once did.
You can agree or disagree with that...but the voters made that pretty clear in 2016 when Democrats in the rust belt turned out for Trump.

Republicans are corporate socialists. They want corporations to have the rights of humans yet not have to pay taxes and be bailed out when they're failing.
Democrats are not socialists in any way.
