Democratic socialists don't exist. Bernie Sanders doesn't understand basic political terminology.

  > Democratic socialists don't exist. Yes they do; first, socialism is, in it's origins, radically democratic. The anti-democratic offshoots of socialism do not define socialism. Second, and more to the point, democratic socialism is, itself, a distinct political movement (it happens to be both democratic and socialist, but even if it wasn't democratic socialism would exist as a distinct thing.) > Bernie Sanders doesn't understand basic political terminology. Clearly, he does far better than you do.
