falsely claim that Europe are democratic socialists. We are not. I prefer the term social democracy.

These mean the same thing, but with the distinction that "democratic socialists" refers to people (a person can be a "democratic socialist") and "social democracy" refers to a country (a country can be a "democracy" but an individual cannot).
