I’d say democratic socialism falls under the general progressive/liberal banner in American political parlance, although admittedly that’s just because our system is designed to funnel most every view into one of the two buckets.

The only democratic socialist in mainstream politics I still listen to is Bernie Sanders. Most every other demsoc doesn't have anything to say that I find all that worth listening to. There are some demsocs in the media or online who I still listen to, but they are relatively few and far between.

Apparently if you go too far left, you wrap around to being poorly educated again and cannot get past simply ideas like the no true scotsman fallacy.

Being able to declare one single person as the true scotsman is our clue that they mistake for their observance.
