(The New American)—Apart from Sandy Cortez (aka “AOC,” D-N.Y.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and New York City’s Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) party now claims 200-plus elected officials nationwide. This is why what’s part of the DSA’s platform is notable.
Among other things, the group wants to, quote, “[a]bolish the Senate and the Electoral College.”
The DSA also aims to create a “new political order.” How? Through, it states, “a second constitutional convention to write the founding documents of a new socialist democracy.”
The DSA endeavors to “disarm … the police” as well, and can’t talk enough about “white supremacy.” It additionally wants to see the “[s]ocial ownership of all major industry and infrastructure.” To be clear, this references “the end goal of seizing the means of production,” as Mamdani put it in 2021.
The DSA’s platform, essentially a litany of everything “wrong” with America, is 21 pages and more than 8,000 words. We don’t know how long a list of what these socialists like about America would be. But I’ll hazard a guess that it could fit on the back of a postage stamp.
