A "Big Tent" definition of Democratic Socialism, that includes Bernie Sanders, AOC, me, and maybe you:
A democratic process of defining, shaping, and implementing shared agreements to ensure that (A) The essential needs of every individual and community are met*, (B) Every individual/organization does and gives their fair share in support of healthy, safe, and functioning communities, and (C) Every individual/organization/community/nation considers their impact on their neighbors, resources, and planet.
A participatory, non-exploitative, and regenerative system of economics that supports individual, community, and planetary well-being.
*Essential Needs: Housing, water, food, safety, health care (including physical, mental, and dental health), education/childcare, transportation, communications, banking, and retirement/disability income.
Democratic Socialism empowers the democratic majority to end the exploitative, unsustainable, and non-regenerative behaviors of individuals, organizations, and governments in support of individual, community, and planetary well-being.

Dingleberry Democrat:
Those that fasten themselves to the ass of Democrat ideology, borne of the feasting on lies and corruption, no brain, bitterly clinging onto the host body, willing to accept and grow anything else coming from the waste-gate. Stubbornly clinging as the namesake John Dingell... he holds the record for longest-serving member of Congress in American history, representing Michigan for more than 59 years.
Different than yellow dog Democrats
Joe listens to the Legacy media and eats everything up insofar as it benefits the Democrat party, he is the definition of a Dingleberry Democrat.

A person who calls for much government control of business and home, wishes to release any religion from being made public, yet supports there own. Hates many. Thinks that Al Gore really is the best leader America will ever have the chance at having. Is very hypocritical.
"Hey Tom! Check out that Radical Democrat over there! He`s driving a car that gets 5 miles to the gallon and he says he wants to end Global Warming!"
"Well, his bumper sticker says 'No gods. No war!' Cut him some slack."

Currently the third largest political party in the United Kingdom, who most people would vote for, if they thought they could win.
They are without a doubt the best party in British Politics, it's just a shame they haven't been elected yet, because clearly they'd sort out all of the problems if they were!
Person 1 - "Those Liberal Democrat's have some great policies, but they'll never win, so I'm voting Tory"
Person 2 - "But if you don't vote for them, they can't win"
Person 1 - "Fair point"

A certain type of school that lets you pick your own subjects and classes (you can even not go to a class if you want to), gives it's students a voice and gives them a bigger part in it's decisions. It makes students have more responsibility on their life instead of forcing it on them like normal schools.
Me: I'm moving to a democratic school!
Friend: Oh man, you're so lucky!
