One of the main problems with this question is that the US Democratic Party is not a homogeneous party. A Democrat from Mississippi and a Democrat from Connecticut may espouse a number of different and contradictory policies. So, in order for a statement to apply to all or most Democrats, it has to cover a wide chasm.

However, the fundamental difference between Socialists and Democrats is the nature of how much government control over the economy they would endorse. A Democrat usually endorses a high-level of industrial/corporate regulation and standards control, while maintaining private ownership. A Socialist usually endorses partial or complete public ownership of certain corporations or industries in addition to regulations. The remaining economic differences are questions of degree, such as the level of taxation, level of civic activist support, level of media oversight, etc.

On social issues, such as abortion, stem cell research, LGBTQA+ rights, and similar issues, the views of Democrats, especially, and Socialists differ on a person-to-person basis.
