Already trying to sanewash AOC? Damn, the Democrats are screwed.

Do you believe that the Democratic Socialists of America do not advocate for Democratic Socialism, or that Democratic Socialism is not Socialism?

Democratic Socialism =/= Social Democracy.

Considering that Harris was attacked for being a "Commie", a moderate socialist is a pretty severe rightward swing.
