Democratic Socialism

"'Bernie 2024, Neolib!'"

He believes the best way to achieve a socialist society is through liberal democracy. Demsocball advocates for public ownership of large businesses and either a limited market composed of worker cooperatives or decentralized planning.

Drawing DSAball takes a few steps:
 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Fill it with red (#ff1d10)
 * 3) Draw a white hand outline coming from the left
 * 4) Draw a black hand outline coming from the right, that holds onto the white hand
 * 5) Draw a white rose with 2 white leaves
 * 6) Draw the eyes and you're done!

Star style:
Drawing the star style Demsoc ball also takes a few steps:
 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) Fill it with red (#d60f18)
 * 3) Draw a white circle in the center
 * 4) Draw a smaller blue (#1e3f7a) circle inside the white circle.
 * 5) Draw a white star over the circle, being careful to leave the points of the star outside of the white circle but the indentations well inside the blue one so this one is still visible
 * 6) Draw a smaller red (#d60f18) star inside the white star
 * 7) Add the eyes and you're done!
