You should tell Webster they're wrong. And Wikipedia. And Brittanica.

Not to call the editors of those fine resources for elementary school aged children stupid or anything, but the adjective-noun pairs "social democrat" and "democratic socialist" literally imply within the terms themselves what these things are. A democratic socialist is a socialist who uses democratic means. It's on the tin.

At this moment, you're on the wrong side of the "First they came for" poem because you're the one rejecting the Left.

This has to be a bit

Yeah, it's the bit where I've gotten threats on my life.

What does that have to do with you referencing a poem you never read the first two lines from?

Can you show us a time this happened? Genuinely, people shouldn't throw around death threats to anyone but war criminals billionaires nazis transphobes and cops, so if thats happening to you just because you're an average liberal I don't support that

or I'll have to assume you were on some cracker shit and actively supporting or being one of the aforementioned groups, in which case, lmao haha
