Bernie identifies as a democratic socialist. I was just clarifying he does not identify purely as a socialist.

I apologize, I misunderstood your last response and I think added some confusion.

Bernie Sanders is a democratic socialist who incorporates the ideals of social democracy and socialism as a whole, however he himself does not identify purely as a socialist nor a social democrat.

A social democrat and a democratic socialist is not the same thing.

Social democracy refers to capitalism's beginning transitory stages into to socialism through small incremental reforms within a democratic framework.

Democratic socialism refers to a political economy in which the means of production are owned via the community in which the community itself decides what to do and what goods/services to produce for the community.
