Move Over Socialism: Democrats Need to Reclaim the Word "Freedom"

Among Democrats there is a big debate about the word Socialism but should Democrats be talking about the word freedom instead?

Socialism has many connotations that many Americans are still uncomfortable with, to change this perception and still hold true to the democratic socialist core principals, Democrats can start talking about Freedom

The Freedom to get sick without going into debt or ending up on the streets, the freedom to a higher education and the freedom to live without fear of going broke because of student debt or medical bills.

Instead of Debating the word socialism democrats need to be debating the word freedom, because the way you or I use it is vastly different from how the Koch Brothers use it.
