DSA co-chair embraces abolishing Senate, ICE, borders as Democratic infighting escalates

A top Democratic socialist leader on Sunday embraced abolishing the Senate, national borders, prisons and more, laying bare the movement’s sweeping agenda as ideological divisions within the Democratic Party continue to deepen.

Speaking to Fox News’ Shannon Bream, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) national co-chair Megan Romer fired off a series of “yes” and “true” responses when asked whether the organization’s platform calls for dismantling major American institutions.

“[You’re advocating for] abolish[ing] the Senate?” Bream asked.

“True,” Romer responded.

Romer also affirmed the organization’s support for replacing the presidency and Supreme Court, abolishing ICE, eventually eliminating national borders while granting amnesty to people living in the country illegally, defunding the Pentagon, phasing out prisons and shifting most large corporations to public ownership.

She said some proposals, including abolishing borders and prisons, are part of the organization’s long-term vision.

Explaining the push to eliminate the Senate, Romer called the chamber “an anachronistic institution” that was designed to limit the influence of ordinary Americans.

“It comes from the British House of Lords,” she said.

“The Senate was part of the system that was made to make sure that the people didn’t have too much of a say. So we want to expand Congress significantly, but make it a unicameral legislature,” Romer said.

Romer also defended the DSA’s decision to field candidates on the Democratic ballot line despite criticism from party leaders who argue the organization should build its own political party.

“The two parties have, over years and decades, created a system where ballot line access is extremely difficult for third parties,” Romer said.

“We run on the Democratic ballot line where it makes sense. We run independents sometimes where that is a viable possibility, but it’s a ballot line. What matters is what the voters think, and the voters are overwhelmingly choosing our candidates,” she said.

The comments come as a growing number of prominent Democrats warn the party risks alienating voters by embracing positions championed by the Democratic Socialists of America.
