Which differentiates the Democrats from Socialists how, exactly?

If nothing else, this is an object lesson in how rumors start and are perpetuated by those of us who don't do our own fact-checking, myself included.

Except for a very few, you know they won't openly call themselves "Socialists", because they know it'll turn people off. That's why they change names to things that "sound" good. Look at the anti-gun groups having "Against Violence," in their name, because who's not against violence? And Progressivism, because who's not for progress?
