this is really very simple:

socialists support an *economy* based on government ownership of land, primary goods, and the means of production and distribution.

anarchists want an economy where all those things are owned by the communities in which they reside (sort of localized democratically run collectivism as oppossed to state collectivism)

Capitalists support private ownership of all those things.

When democrats argue that the government should own all major industries, banks, and land THEN you can call them socialists. as long as they continue to advocate for private ownership they are very definately capitalists - even if they do tend to want to regulate that capitalism more then republicans do. You should remember, however, that every capitalist society in history has included regulation as an integral part of its operating structure. Frankly, capitalism cannot function over the long term without at least minimal regulation since the long-term goal of every large company is to eliminate its competitors and corner the market for the goods or services it provides and without competition marketplace mechanisms such as supply and demand cease to function. That’s why virtually every capitalist country has anti-monopoly laws.

to summarize: you can hate the democrats all you want, be my guest. Speaking as an Anarchist I hate them too. But please get your terminology straight, they’re not socialists. they have never been socialists. odds are they will never be socialists. they are capitalists, just like you, with some relatively minor differences in how they’d like to run the system you both fundamentally support. From the perspective of REAL socialists, anarchists, and other anti-capitalists those differences are so trivial it’s comical.

Since when has any Democrat ever, ever cared about the common good of the people, except when it benefits them politically? To top it off, she dared say that to people that were taking their hard earned money and donating to her…. the woman must have…
