For someone to claim there’s a difference between “Democratic Socialism” and regular “Socialism,” the logic would have to be… let’s just say, questionable. That’s why it’s both comical and unsurprising that former MSNBC host Joy Reid and CNN’s Abby Phillip argued that people like Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani are somehow different from “real socialists.” And to top it all off, they even suggested that President Donald Trump was a “National Socialist” — or, in other words, a Nazi. To call that comparison unoriginal would be an understatement.

According to The Post Millennial

“They’re afraid of the left flank of their own party,” Phillip said. She then pointed to Sanders and Mamdani, both of whom identify with socialism, adding that the term itself is viewed as “scary” in politics.

Maybe it’s “scary” because every country that’s tried it ended up as a massive dictatorship where everyone starved. I don’t know. That’s just my two cents.

Reid interjected, “But it’s democratic socialism, it isn’t regular socialism,” though she did not elaborate on the distinction between these two.

What’s the difference between being forced into famine and voting your way into it? Either way, both are terrible — and neither has any place in this great nation.

They also act as if the United States has no social welfare programs, which couldn’t be further from the truth, as proven by the fact that everyone and their grandma seems to be on food stamps.

“My point is that everybody, they’re just afraid of the S word,” Philip replied. “Voters are not as concerned about these labels as I think politicians think that they are.”

Again, maybe this “S-word” is so “scary” because every time a population has tried it, very bad things have happened.

She went on to suggest that populist messaging is resonating across the political spectrum, asking, “What is it about these messages that are resonating? Not just with Mamdani and with Bernie Sanders, but also with Donald Trump.”

Reid responded by claiming Trump’s policies amount to “national socialism,” saying he is “taking parts of companies and saying that the government’s gonna have a part of it.”

Firstly, if that’s what Trump is supposedly doing, then why isn’t that what he’s actually doing? Nonetheless, tossing in the whole “Nazi” comparison is so overused and unoriginal at this point that it’s just plain pathetic.

That being said, voters are a lot smarter than these two give them credit for — no one’s being fooled by this. So, while we could call it a nice try, it was anything but, as they’ve managed to come off even more naive than the countries that voted themselves into “Democratic Socialism.”
