    What is called “democratic socialism” these days mostly just amounts to a market economy with a reasonable level of social security and public infrastructure.

      I genuinely don’t understand why it’s proponents call it democratic socialism. That name will immediately turn off a lot of Americans. Should have called it democratic patriotism or something.
