New definition.....there are ACTUAL Democratic Socialist countries ..

Its very strange to me that the strategy here is.....We are going to adopt and absorb the very scare words thrown at Democrats for decades.....But we are going to convince all the Liberal Democrats that "we are not THAT kind of Socialist like they call us, ..we are a different kind" "we don't really oppose Capitalism....as the definition implies...."we are just joking about that"

"Ignore all those Quotes from the leaders at the DSA" (that I just posted)...."they are just joking"..".they don't really mean what they say"

..."and do not pay attention to those several actual Democratic Socialist countries over there"...."we don't mean like that either"...meanwhile we are going to convince all the Liberal Democrats that "they arent really Center Left Democrats at all" thats the real problem "you all are just wrong about that, just trust is bro" while continuing to shit on the Democrats those Liberal Democratic Voters elected.....blaming THEM for everything thats wrong...not the Republicans.......and then pretending...."if only you elect US those meany Republicans will just get out of our way and just stop obstructing us"! "Just trust us bro"

And everything will be beautiful just like magic!

Isn't this what this is proposing??

This is how a minority of voters are going to convince the vast majority?? That THEY are the problem not the Republicans? ....and all they need to do is just adopt this new term, we arent going to ask them to change anything noooo..everything stays the same...thats going to fix everything

Bernie Sanders is not FDR....
