As many of its candidates notch electoral wins nationwide, the pre-eminent socialist political group in the U.S., the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), plans to roll out an updated platform that includes eliminating the Senate and replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by Congress.

According to a source familiar with the DSA’s planning, the organization plans to roll out an update next week to its long-term vision for a U.S. policy platform. The update includes eliminating the U.S. Senate and replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.

Additionally, the updated platform would include amnesty for all immigrants and defunding the Department of War.

This would be in addition to the DSA’s current policy platform, which calls for an "immediate end to all deportations," free migration between countries without restrictive immigration controls, and "extending full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens."

Once considered a fringe movement on the Democratic Party’s progressive wing, the DSA has been gaining relevance with several of its members toppling longtime establishment party figures. This has prompted many to speculate that the DSA represents the Democratic Party’s future.

While the DSA has endorsed the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., perhaps the most prominent member of the group is New York City socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani, an immigrant from Uganda, burst onto the national consciousness this year after he defeated former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2025.

Since Mamdani’s victory, the DSA has continued to gain momentum, with its endorsed candidates — Melat Kiros of Colorado, Darializa Avila-Chevalier of New York, Adam Hamawy of New York and Donavan McKinney of Michigan — each defeating sitting Democratic members of Congress...

In short, they want an authoritarian, one-party dictatorship.

[Da Coyote]

Boy, the left really wants a war with us.
May as well bring it and get it over with.

[USCG SimTech]

17th amendment already totally destroyed the fundamental purpose of the Senate.

[seabeeson]

They plan on taking over the country and subjugating anyone who does not conform to them. By subjugating I mean “Death Camps”.

[chajin]

replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary Premier and Soviet Court chosen by Congress the Central Committee as dictated by to the Premier.

The UK model.

[Leaning Right]

At one time the UK’s House of Lords was a serious check on the more excitable House of Commons. No longer. The House of Lords is now just little more than a debating society.

That’s a good example of what NOT to do. Which means our radicals want to do exactly that with our US Senate.

[Vision]

Or they could just get jobs or find one they like and work harder and be happy.

[JBW1949]

Well, it has been a great 250 years....

[Vaduz]

Network news far ahead of Democratic Socialists of America idea they’ll go bust fast.

[Libloather]

Why?

[Rinnwald]

The Senate is fairly useless. It could be replaced by a committee or bureau.

Maybe like a political bureau.

[ripnbang]

Oh please…I’ve been hearing the “death camps” trope since the Clinton days of FEMA camps and black helicopters. I feel like I’m in a time warp.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What they mean by “our democracy” is “we get out way and call it democracy.”

[JSM_Liberty]

“According to a source”

[Jim Noble]

Yes, that is what democratic socialism requires.

Germany was almost conquered by democratic socialism between 1928-1933.

How did they handle it?

I heard Canadians want a Real Senate but Carney just laughs at them
