House Democrats were caught flat-footed when confronted with the latest agenda from the Democratic Socialists of America — a radical platform calling to eliminate the Senate, abolish the presidency, and replace the Supreme Court with a judiciary controlled by Congress.
They had no good answers.
“I don’t support that,” Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., told Fox News Digital when asked about the new DSA platform. “I haven’t read the proposal.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., one of the most progressive Democrats in Congress, dodged questions on the socialist agenda entirely.
“I’m not a member of the DSA, so I can’t comment on any documents that they put out,” Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said.
“I’m not a member of the DSA, so I can’t comment on any documents that they put out.”
The revised DSA platform, titled “Workers Deserve More,” calls for a unicameral legislature — abolishing the Senate entirely — and a parliamentary system that would eliminate the presidency. The Supreme Court would be replaced by a judiciary elected by and subordinate to Congress.
The platform also demands the complete abolishment of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), pardons for all immigrants including convicted criminals, and defunding what the DSA calls the “Department of War.”
The organization has publicly advocated for ICE’s abolishment since 2018. The current platform calls for “an immediate end to all deportations,” “extending full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens,” and easing restrictions on migration between countries.
The socialist agenda is no longer fringe. DSA members and self-proclaimed socialists have been beating out moderate Democrats in primary elections across the country this year, signaling the far-left platform is gaining traction within the Democratic party.
Aguilar told Fox News Digital he was “not at all” worried about the wave of far-left socialist candidates complicating the Democratic party’s agenda.
“I look forward to working with all our colleagues who run as Democrats,” Aguilar said.
But the DSA platform is more than a policy wish list. In a statement published Friday in Democratic Left, the DSA’s official magazine, the organization laid out formal requirements for socialist candidates seeking endorsement.
Candidates “will be expected to accept and promote DSA’s program, and align their own campaign platforms with its contents to the best of their ability,” according to the resolution.
That means any Democrat seeking DSA backing must campaign in line with the agenda to abolish the Senate and presidency — even as sitting House Democrats like Omar, Khanna, and Aguilar claim they haven’t read it or won’t comment on it.
The endorsement requirement raises a question patriots are already asking: How many Democrats are running on an agenda to dismantle America’s constitutional system — and refusing to admit it?
