It makes perfect sense to call Democrats socialists.There is a group
in the US Congress called the Progressive Caucus.Here is a list of
their 54 members, overwhelmingly if not entirely comprised of
Democrats:

Presidential candidate and Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Dennis Kucinich
is at the top of the list.
So what, you ask? Well, the Progressive Caucus has close ties to the
Democratic Socialists Of America http://www.dsausa.org/dsa.html .
As far as I know, there is no organization called the Republican Nazis
Of America, so your Democrat/Socialist = Republican/Nazi comparison is
way off target.

This is a ridiculous argument, and I assume it's at least partly a joke.
The "Democratic" in DSA of course has nothing to do with the Democratic
Party, but is an adjective to distinguish the DSA from the various
anti-democratic (i.e. pro-Soviet) socialist parties that have been
around. The link you provide is that of Bernie Sanders, who as you
doubtless know, is not a Democrat.

By the way, you used "comprised" incorrectly.
