This is not a new fight ... Democratic Socialism is NOT classic Socialism or Communism, but they have always wanted to create the impression that it is ...

I have always resisted and defended Liberalism when the meatheads would try to demean it ... The ' S 'word has always been under attack and purposely misinterpreted ...

DEMOCRATIC Socialism is simply the act of passing social legislation within the constitutional process ... Nothing more and nothing less ... It's the best part of a functional Democracy ...
