DSA’s Boldest Constitutional Proposal Yet

America’s largest socialist organization just published a plan to abolish the U.S. Senate, eliminate the presidency, and replace the Supreme Court — and it’s all in writing.

Quick Take

  • The Democratic Socialists of America released a new platform called “Workers Deserve More!” that calls for scrapping the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court.
  • The plan would replace the president and Supreme Court with bodies chosen by and answerable to Congress — gutting the checks and balances the Founders built.
  • The platform also calls for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, defunding the military, and granting amnesty to every illegal immigrant in the country.
  • The group’s own co-chairman has publicly defended these proposals, calling the Senate “fundamentally undemocratic.”

What the DSA’s New Platform Actually Says

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) unveiled its updated political platform in July 2026. The document, titled “Workers Deserve More!,” lays out a sweeping plan to tear apart the structure of the U.S. government. In plain language, the platform calls for abolishing the Senate, eliminating the Electoral College, and replacing the president and Supreme Court with institutions that answer to Congress — not to voters.

The DSA’s platform does not hide its goals. It states directly: “Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress.” That one sentence would end the separation of powers that has protected American freedom for nearly 250 years. The Founders designed three separate branches of government precisely so no single group could seize total control. The DSA wants to hand that control to one body.

A Wish List That Goes Far Beyond Government Structure

Dismantling the constitutional framework is just the start. The platform also calls for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — a demand the DSA has pushed since 2018 — along with granting full amnesty to all illegal immigrants in the country. The document pushes the Green New Deal, cuts to military funding, an end to military aid to Israel, defunding the police, and reducing the prison population. It also calls for universal rent control nationwide.

The platform even calls for a second constitutional convention to write what it describes as “the founding documents of a new socialist democracy.” The DSA wants a single-chamber legislature chosen through proportional representation — a system that would end the two-party structure and give fringe parties far more power. These are not minor tweaks. They represent a complete replacement of the American system of government.

The DSA Defends the Plan — and Candidates Are Winning Elections

DSA co-chairman Ashik Siddiqi went public to defend the proposal to abolish the Senate. He argued the chamber is “fundamentally undemocratic” and that getting rid of it would make Washington more representative. What he did not mention is that the Senate gives smaller states an equal voice — a protection the Founders built in on purpose to stop big-city majorities from running roughshod over the rest of the country.

What makes this more than a fringe wish list is the DSA’s growing electoral record. The group’s candidates have notched real wins across the country. Speaker Mike Johnson has warned publicly that Congress is fighting right now over whether America stays a constitutional republic or goes “down this dark road” toward socialism. The DSA’s own platform admits that changes like abolishing the Senate would require a constitutional amendment — a very high bar. But the group’s willingness to say it out loud, and defend it, signals how far left the movement has moved.

Why Every Conservative Should Be Paying Attention

The DSA’s platform is not a thought experiment. It is a published, defended, official policy document from a group with elected members in government. It targets the Senate, the presidency, the Supreme Court, the Electoral College, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the military, and the police — basically every institution that stands between the American people and unchecked government power. A recruiting video from the group even claims the Constitution was designed to protect “rich slaveholders.”

Americans who value the Constitution, gun rights, border security, and limited government should read this platform carefully. The DSA is not hiding what it wants. It wants to replace the American republic with a socialist system where Congress holds all power and individual rights take a back seat to collective control. That is not reform. That is a revolution — and they are saying so themselves.
