Difference Between Socialist, Democrat

[lostinblue 1,989]

Hillary Clinton couldn’t explain the difference between Democrats and Socialists. Neither could the chair of the Democratic Party.

Now Democrat senator Chuck Schumer has also failed the test. Are you sensing a pattern yet?

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

Chris Matthews Stumps Chuck Schumer on Difference Between Socialist, Democrat

MSNBC host Chris Matthews indulged in a favorite hobby on Tuesday: making Democratic lawmakers uncomfortable by asking if their party is socialist.

Matthews reserved over a minute of a two-minute interview to question Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) on the subject.

“What’s the difference between a socialist and a Democrat?” Matthews asked.

“Oh, it depends how you define each one, doesn’t it?” Schumer said.

“Well, you do it,” Matthews said with a fat grin.

“Well, I’m not going to get into it,” Schumer said with an equally fat—though probably strained—grin.

Matthews didn’t drop the subject without a fight.

Is there a difference?

[Darnell 8,479]

ya, then there's the spinoffs between

Social Democrat

Democratic Socialist

and the usage and meanings actually VARY between the countries that have used these labels in the past.

I still wonder which def Barry S uses, but don't really care to learn more.

Is there a difference?

Yes and no. The Democratic party represents a very broad spectrum of Americans, some are socialist e.g Bernie Sanders, while others are more right leaning supporters of large corporate interests e.g. Hillary Clinton.

Did you know that one of the reasons Republicans go after Hillary about Benghazi and other non relevant issues, is because they can't attack her voting record, without making themselves look stupid.

that is because most of the politicians in either party are equally corrupt.

I'm surprised Bernie hasn't gone after Hillary as Bush-lite.

Bernie wants to campaign on the issues, and not take cheap shots at Hillary.

I opened this and immediately thought: this is the reason there are issues in the USA. I cannot tell if you're joking or not about if you actually know the difference between different party types and how far left or right they believe.

He's not joking. He believes what he posted.
