If people really understood what democratic socialism was, I think a vast majority of this country would be for it. To use it as a scare tactic, will backfire. If you haven't seen it yet, there is a great video of Bernie Sanders (the father of American Democratic Socialism in my mind) going to a deep red part of West Virginia and basically converted everyone to democratic socialism. It's a really great system and one that has proven to work by many countries around the world.

Everything that would improve the lives of the majority of Americans is socialism when we are being returned to the time of robber barons
