On Fox News Sunday, Democratic Socialists of America co-chair Megan Romer clarified that, yes, the ultimate goal of the DSA is to abolish prisons and borders, defund the Pentagon, give mass amnesty to illegal aliens, and abolish the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court. Who is supposed to grant amnesty to all the illegals if the government's been abolished?
Jonathan Chait, who deemed Twitchy a "conservative rage curator," has a piece in The Atlantic in which he argues that abolishing the Senate is perhaps the DSA's best idea.
The DSA is right: abolish the Senate https://t.co/GZZiMFU0kf

Chait writes:
… although the DSA’s platform is indeed chock-full of maniacal proposals, on this particular idea, the maniacs have a point. The Senate is a vestigial deformity upon the Constitution whose elimination, unlikely though it might be, would rank among the great democratic advances in American history.
"A vestigial deformity upon the Constitution." No, it is the Constitution, moron.
As this requires the dissolution of the United States of America, this is quite literally a call for insurrection.

You're calling for the overthrowing of our Republic. On the internet. Under your real name.

So you're in the un-American, burn-it-all-down camp now, eh?

Destroying one of the checks and balances against tyranny will make it easier for the DSA Politboro to impose the will of The Working Class on everyone.
Spectacular.

You absolutely never fail to be completely wrong.
Openly calling for the overthrow of the Constitution is definitely a bold choice

Are you guys good with Trump doing it today?

Abolish the DSA instead.

The DSA are temporary idiots we allow to exist in our country to teach morons like you a lesson. They’ll be given just so much rope, then us patriots will pull it back with a firm and crisp snap…and the DSA will no longer exist.

So you’re calling for the overthrow of the US Constitution. Cool. Just so we’re clear on the rules of engagement you’ve set here, you’re ceding any right to question the constitutionality of anything Trump – or any other future GOP leader – does or proposes to do going forward.

Abolish The Atlantic, for the good of America

The DSA just might decide that too if it ever accrues enough power, which it won't. You don't just get to pick and choose what you like from the DSA's published platform.
