The platform presents ideas such as establishing a prime minister-like system, abolishing the Electoral College, and fundamentally restructuring Congress by abolishing the Senate. These proposals are part of a broader push to position the DSA within mainstream politics, especially amid recent electoral gains by socialist candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others poised to enter Congress. The platform also criticizes existing institutions like the Electoral College and calls for a major overhaul of the judiciary and executive branches,emphasizing a shift toward more parliamentary-style governance. The move aims to amplify the socialist movement\u2019s influence and organize around these transformative demands,reflecting a desire to reshape the American political system substantially.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/democratic-socialists-of-america\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"5861\">Democratic Socialists of America<\/a> launched a new platform on Tuesday night, part of which calls to \u201creplace\u201d the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/president\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1113\">presidency<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/supreme-court\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"203\">Supreme Court<\/a> with \u201can executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/congress\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"31\">Congress<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhenever people are like, \u2018Oh my God, they want to get rid of the president,\u2019 I was like, \u2018Well, I don\u2019t know what we would call it in the future.

The DSA platform also calls to abolish the Electoral College, which members criticized as anti-majoritarian. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to their demands to gut the judiciary and executive branches, socialists also took aim at Congress.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-3\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/4646135\/six-democratic-socialists-america-most-prominent-caucuses\/#google_vignette\"><strong>MARXISTS, SOCIALISTS, AND THE \u2018RED STAR\u2019: HERE ARE THE DSA\u2019S MOST PROMINENT CAUCUSES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAbolishing the Senate, letting it go by the way like the way the House of Lords did in the U.K. Look, I can get behind that for sure, baby,\u201d socialist pundit Emma Vigeland quipped on the webinar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The United Kingdom <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/op-eds\/4517219\/scrapping-lords-step-toward-washington-dysfunction\/\">removed<\/a> the last hereditary members from the House of Lords in April.
