Answer: Not much at all, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz knows it. When Chris Matthews attempted to press the DNC chair on whether Bernie Sanders, an avowed Socialist, would get a high-profile speaking slot at the Democratic convention even if he loses the nomination, Wasserman Schultz stammered out an affirmative, which amazed Matthews and prompted him to ask Wasserman Schultz if she saw any significant difference between Democrats and Socialists. Wasserman Schultz tried to duck the question, but provided a very telling answer by doing so (via Newsalert and Mediaite):
Things Get Awkward When Matthews Asks DNC Head About Bernie Sanders, Socialism (VIDEO)
Matthews asked Wasserman-Schultz if, even if he loses, Sanders would have a place at the DNC convention, seeing as how hes really popular with the base and could fire up a Democratic audience before the election.She said he should get to speak, but Matthews kept prodding away to see if he would be allowed to speak in primetime instead of when nobodys watching.
Wasserman-Schultz talked up his progressive populist message that people like, when Matthews asked her point-blank, Whats the difference between a Democrat and a socialist? I used to think there was a big difference. What do you think it is?
Wasserman-Schultz ducked the question, but Matthews pressed her and said, Youre the chairman of the Democratic Party. Tell me whats the difference between you and a socialist.
Instead of answering, Wasserman Schutlz tells Matthews that theres a much bigger gulf between Democrats and Republicans than Democrats and Socialists. And that was precisely Matthews point. Hes an old-school Democrat, certainly more sympathetic than hostile to Sanders socialist bent, but cognizant of the marginalization that will produce in the general electorate. Embracing the avowed socialist Sanders on the Democrats biggest national stage will make it impossible for the nominee to argue that Democrats represent the center of the country. It will lose the Midwest, the Rust Belt, and any hope of making inroads in the interior West and especially the South.
Matthews sounds downright plaintive when he says, I used to think there was a big difference between Democrats and Socialists. Perhaps its just nostalgia, because the difference has been narrowing rapidly over the past generation, and has all but disappeared in the past six years. Its disappearance has been so profound that even the DNC chair cant pick up on the warning Matthews attempted to sound in this exchange, and instead brags about how much distance the Democrats have put from Republicans in their radical shift to the Left. For once, though
shes entirely correct.
Hair style?
And what is the difference between the Rats and the GOP?
They’re almost on the verge of admitting their socialists?
LOL!
The GOP generally (or used to) talk a good game - but when it comes time to vote they vote like the Dems (although they will usually allow a few to vote like Conservatives -- just as long as the outcome of the final vote is what they wanted).
So to answer your question - not a dime's worth.
What should scare every American is the difference between a socialist and a communist.
A socialist works to achieve an unattainable Utopian command state but doesn’t like firearms. It’s just a short hop from there to communism. And a communist not only loves and owns firearms but uses them to KILL ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO GO ALONG WITH THE PROGRAM!

Got it?
The guy on the right has some kind of long stain down the inside of his pant leg and that guy on the far left is really creepy especially when his Adam's Apple jumps around when he gets excited!
Don’t worry, he’ll come around ...
Whats the big difference between a Democrat and a socialist?
It’s a trick question.
There is no difference.
American capitalism gone with a whimper
Pravda | 27.04.2009
It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.
(...)
The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Exactly, none whatsoever
Hey Chrissy....got a question for you. If
Debbie Wasserman Socialist expresses the
reality of today’s Dem’Rat party then where
does that leave you? Still going to be
doing their bidding? Let me guess...in
your so called mind the GOP has gone
farther right than Democrats have gone
to the left. You are one POS, Chrissy.
If you ever thought that Debbie blabbermouth Shultz could B made speechless,you should see this
I don’t. No idea what you are trying say. You refuse to belief the GOP is socialist as well? Is that it?
One is honest about their beliefs, the other is not.
