What is a Democratic Socialist?

51. I'll watch it, but there are two possibilities. The definition is clear.

1. Bernie is confused about the definition of Social Democracy vs Democratic Socialism. (I doubt that, I think he knows the definition of the terms)

2. Bernie knows the definition and has correctly identified as a Democratic Socialist and is trying not to scare people with the description of the belief system.

The definition is very clear:

Democratic socialism is a political ideology advocating a democratic political system alongside a socialist economic system, involving a combination of political democracy with social ownership of the means of production. Sometimes used synonymously with "socialism", the adjective "democratic" is added to denote a system of political democracy similar to that found in existing Western societies[citation needed], thus distinguishing democratic socialism from the Marxist–Leninist brand of socialism.

Social democracy is a political ideology that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a capitalist economy, and a policy regime involving welfare state provisions, collective bargaining arrangements, regulation of the economy in the general interest, redistribution of income and wealth, and a commitment to representative democracy. Social democracy aims to create the conditions for capitalism to lead to greater egalitarian, democratic and solidaristic outcomes
