I'm trying to. xP

Democratic socialism isn't as much socialism as it is a patch for capitalism. It's adding a safety net, per se, to an otherwise free market. It takes key socialist features, such as seizing the means of production (which is interpreted in this case as giving workers a say in how the company they work for is run), semi-socializing the education system (which at this point just means public colleges in the same way public high schools and middle schools work), expanding welfare, and increasing taxes on the extremely wealthy to improve the lives of those at the bottom.
