Megan Romer Says DSA Wants to Abolish Senate in Fox News Hit
Mediaite • • nation
Key Points:
- Megan Romer, co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), outlined a radical platform on Fox News Sunday, endorsing the abolition of the U.S. Senate, presidency, Supreme Court, ICE, and borders, along with defunding the Pentagon and largely abolishing prisons.
- Romer described the Senate as an outdated institution designed to limit popular power and proposed replacing the current bicameral legislature with a significantly expanded unicameral Congress.
- On abolishing prisons, Romer argued that most incarcerations stem from crimes of poverty, which the DSA aims to eliminate, leading to a reduced prison population and alternative approaches to handling serious offenders focused on safety and dignity rather than punishment.
- The DSA also supports government or public ownership of most large corporations as part of its long-term goals.
- The DSA's influence appears to be increasing, with several DSA-backed candidates winning Democratic primaries in key states like New York and Colorado.
