Despite Bernie calling himself a democratic socialist, neither he nor the other democratic candidates actually stand for socialist policies.

So no they aren't running on socialism.

So I should not call a socialist the guy who calls himself a socialist. Gotcha. Venezuela here we come. 

No that's not what I said, of course you can call Bernie a Socialist but equating him with Maduro is quite dishonest, it's like equating Rosa Luxemburg with Stalin.
Also just because a politician or partie is called socialist does not mean it actually is socialist, for example many center left parties in europe have Socialism or even Komunism in their name but they aren't socialist at all. You have to look at the concret policies.
