Since the late 19th/early 20th century. It is the same old, tired, broken crap- ideologues pushing an ideology that doesn't work. They were progressives, then liberals, then progressives again, now Democratic Socialists. There is no difference between a Democratic Socialist and a socialist. They keep changing their labels when their ideas become too odious to the average American.
Sadly, they will never stop. More sadly, people who ought to know better buy into it.

Uh....... Bernie Sanders is a DEMOCRATIC socialist. They believe in democratic elections. "Socialist" is being used in this string to refer to nations such as the former Soviet Union, China and Venezuela. These are nations that do not have actual democratic elections. (They feign such elections.)
YOU stated in your previous post: "There is no difference between a Democratic Socialist and a socialist." This is false.
