American democracy 

A form of democracy which is only legitimate when it supports a specific individual or groups agenda, otherwise its illegitimate and the result of fraud. And proof of the system subsequent failure.
Oh, of course it’s only a fair outcome if I agree with it, American democracy at its finest.

American democratic socialism 

What the rest of the world calls social democracy. Much like American football, we’ve created our own definition. After years of political scientists cringing at misuse of the word, people are throwing their hands up, and accepting that in the US, socialism means something completely different than it does literally anywhere else.
Person 1: I thought socialists wanted to “seize the means of production.”
Person 2: Bernie advocates American democratic socialism. He doesn’t want any of that.
