Summary
Ro Khanna rejected the proposal but said he had not read it, while Ilhan Omar declined to comment and Pete Aguilar said he is not a DSA member.
The new DSA platform, "Workers Deserve More," calls for abolishing the Senate, presidency and Supreme Court, replacing them with a unicameral legislature and Congress-subordinate executive and judiciary.
The agenda also seeks to abolish ICE, end deportations, extend voting rights to noncitizens and people with criminal convictions, and pardon immigrants including those convicted of crimes.
Friday’s DSA resolution gives the platform teeth by requiring endorsed candidates to accept and promote it, as socialist-backed candidates gain ground in Democratic primaries.
