Socialists launch radical platform to abolish the US Senate in bid to fundamentally transform America
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest socialist organisation in the United States, is reportedly preparing to release an updated long-term policy platform that would radically reshape the country's system of government. According to a source cited by Fox News, the proposals include abolishing the US Senate and replacing both the president and the Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary that would be chosen by, and subordinate to, Congress. The plans matter because the DSA, once regarded as a fringe movement, has been growing in influence, with several of its members defeating established Democratic Party figures.
The updated platform would reportedly also include amnesty for all immigrants and the defunding of the Department of War, building on the DSA's existing positions such as an immediate end to all deportations, unrestricted migration between countries, and voting rights for people with criminal convictions and non-citizens. The article notes the group has endorsed figures including Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib, while its most prominent member is described as New York City's socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Ugandan-born immigrant. The report frames these developments amid wider claims from Fox commentators, including Laura Ingraham, that a surge of socialist primary victories threatens to reshape the Democratic Party's agenda.
