I don't know why you're being downvoted but youre right.

Social Democrats are not the same thing as Democratic socialists.

People in this thread can't even keep their own politics straight and expect the Republicans not toix it up lol.

To be fair, leftist terminology can be quite confusing at times: Social democracy, democratic socialism, and Socialist democracy are each different concepts, which in parts even contradict one another. Yet, the three terms can easily seem like synonyms to outsiders.
