He declined to elaborate, saying he had a flight to catch.<\/p><p>The DSA\u2019s new <span><u>platform<\/u><\/span>, unveiled earlier this month, calls for expanding the social safety net and making sweeping changes to the federal government. Those include abolishing the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court. Those institutions would be replaced with an \u201cexecutive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress,\u201d as well as an expanded House of Representatives with multiple political parties instead of the current two-party system. Those ideas would require approving an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a major hurdle in a polarized political environment.<\/p><p>\u201cThe Senate is a very undemocratic institution,\u201d Ashik Siddique, co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, said in an <span><u>interview<\/u><\/span> on C-SPAN. \u201cI talked a bit about democracy, a small \u2018d\u2019 democracy, and that\u2019s really important to us. We want democratic representation of all people who live in this country.\u201d<\/p><p>The DSA platform, titled \u201cWorkers Deserve More,\u201d has drawn attacks and ridicule <span><u>from top Republicans<\/u><\/span> who are seeking to tie some of its controversial ideas, such as abolishing the police, to the Democratic Party and its candidates ahead of November\u2019s midterm elections. Francesca Hong, a democratic socialist and front-runner in the Wisconsin governor\u2019s Democratic primary race, for example, is <span><u>facing questions<\/u><\/span> about the platform and her past comments calling to abolish the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not support the full platform of the national DSA, and I am not endorsed by DSA national. What democratic socialism is, is a form of government that puts working-class people first,\u201d Hong <span><u>said<\/u><\/span> in a debate last week, backing away from a 2020 social media post in which she called to abolish the police.<\/p><p>Some Democrats believe their party isn\u2019t doing enough to marginalize the democratic socialist movement, which recently claimed victories in local and congressional races in New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Washington, D.C. According to a recent CNN <span><u>poll<\/u><\/span>, about a third of Democrats now identify as democratic socialists.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2106\">Trump Sticks by \u2018Anti-Weaponization\u2019 Fund Ahead of Blanche Confirmation Vote<\/a><\/p><p>\u201cThese people sat in a room and said, \u2018How much crazy shit can we cram into a platform?\u2019 Like, \u2018Yeah, abolish the Senate? Sure, why not. Hey, abolish the presidency? Yeah, sure, why not?\u2019 That\u2019s crazy shit,\u201d Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman, who has broken with Democrats on several key issues, told NOTUS. \u201cI\u2019m unique, I\u2019m the only Democrat that will call it out.\u201d<\/p><p>But other Democrats downplayed the rise of DSA, arguing that most people who consider themselves to be far-left progressives ascribe to more popular ideas like taxing the rich and providing universal health care.<\/p><p>\u201cI know people in Richmond who align with DSA who don\u2019t want to abolish the Senate,\u201d said Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine. \u201cThey don\u2019t want to abolish the presidency. If you ask them, \u2018Why are you DSA?\u2019 they will say, \u2018I\u2019m a Democrat, but I like DSA because I don\u2019t like the concentration of wealth.\u2019\u201d<\/p><p>New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker said his constituents are more concerned about their economic situation and having health care rather than \u201cproposing things that would require a constitutional amendment,\u201d which he called \u201cfarcical at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Booker, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, said he did support other structural reforms such as granting statehood to Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, as well as changing equal state apportionment, which gives every state two senators, no matter its population.<\/p><p>\u201cThe Senate does have things that our founders never imagined, like the fact that North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana have 10 senators and they have less population than Los Angeles County, and that\u2019s really problematic,\u201d Booker said. \u201cBut there are things that really focus on the real issues of people that we can get done here, that I think we should be organizing around.\u201d<\/p><p>Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock, meanwhile, argued that voter frustration with how the Senate operates could be addressed if its members stood up for the system of checks and balances as laid out in the U.S. Constitution.<\/p><p>\u201cI think that we need to do something about a supine Senate. There\u2019s a lot of madness happening right now in the White House that this body could do something to address if there was any courage,\u201d Warnock said, before adding, \u201cIf my Republican colleagues had any moral courage.\u201d<br\/><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2102\">Big Ten, SEC Support College Sports Bill After Late Trump Pressure Campaign<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats across the caucus dismissed the idea of restructuring Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2113,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-democrats"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DSA Wants to Abolish the Senate.
