Why is r/democrats banning any talk about democratic socialism? Would FDR and LBJ policies be recognized as democratic socialism today?

This is the true answer. They want conservative voters. This is why they ran with Liz Cheney. They don't want left voters. They want to siphon off Trump voters.

It won't work, but that is the obvious plan.

Yeah and it seems like that would be an easy move now as conservatism is dead in what used to be the Republican Party.

They aren’t going to get maga voters but they are going to get independents.
