"FDR was a super Democratic socialist"

"People get dictatorships with socialist names mixed up with Democratic socialism"
No shit, but it's a bit late to be thinking, "I could have avoided all this by calling mice elf a democratic capitalist." It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better, cuz, long before Bernie started saying ,"Denmark Sweden", he was saying "Cuba Venezuela", and there's about $1B in ad money just waiting to remind America of that fact, no doubt with scenes of people starving in the dark in Venezuela.

"Democratic socialism is like what they have in every western democracy in the world."
They all have democratic capitalism. Sweden and Norway have more billionaires per capita than we do.

Democratic capitalism, is an economic system that combines capitalism and a strong welfare state curbing the excesses of individual freedom. The coexistence of capitalism and democracy, particularly in Europe, was supported by the creation of the modern welfare state in the post-war period which enabled a relatively stable political atmosphere and widespread support for social democracy as opposed to Soviet communism.
