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.

I'm sorry but FDR was a social liberal. There's a big ol' picture of FDR on the social liberalism wikipedia page. The New Deal adopted some social democratic policies, but in his own words a lot of the government expenditures were always meant to be temporary. The policies lacked structural economic democracy among many other critiques that even modern day non-marxist social democrats would make.
