A democratic socialist is not the same as a Democrat.

He is the official Democratic nominee for Mayor of NY. He won a fair primary election.
What exactly is so different about the two groups?
Don't we all want equality? Equity? Love? Understanding? Peace? People have enough money to eat? medical care?
I think the differences are, at most, around the edges. Not enough to make a fuss about.
