Key House Democrats including Ilhan Omar, Ro Khanna, and Pete Aguilar were left fumbling this week when asked to comment on the latest radical proposal from the Democratic Socialists of America.
The DSA’s platform, called “Workers Deserve More,” openly calls for abolishing core pillars of the American government including the Senate, the presidency, and even the Supreme Court.
The plan would replace those institutions with a single legislature controlling both an elected executive branch and a judiciary directly answerable to Congress.
When questioned by Fox News Digital, Rep. Khanna quickly distanced himself from the proposal, saying, “I don’t support that. I haven’t read the proposal.”

It was an unsurprising response for a lawmaker trying to play both sides of the ideological split within his own party.
The socialist plan does not stop at dismantling the federal system.
It also seeks to erase U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, pardon all aliens regardless of criminal behavior, and defund the Department of War, the historical term for the Department of Defense.
To top it off, the DSA platform calls for granting full voting rights to felons and even noncitizens, while ending all deportations entirely.

It is a wish list straight from the far left’s fever dream, but the uncomfortable truth for Democrats is that this fringe agenda is creeping closer to the party’s center of gravity.
Several DSA-endorsed candidates have been unseating more moderate Democrats in primary races this year, showing that the socialist movement is not just symbolic anymore.
When asked about that trend, Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar tried to shrug it off.
“I look forward to working with all our colleagues who run as Democrats,” he told Fox News Digital.
But his carefully chosen words could not hide the unease hanging over the Democratic establishment as the socialist surge gains traction.
Ilhan Omar, one of the House’s leading progressives and a chronic lightning rod for controversy, dodged outright when asked to weigh in.
WATCH:
Her refusal to comment speaks volumes about how deep the DSA’s influence runs.
Publicly, many Democrats claim they are not members of the DSA, but privately they adopt many of its policies when it comes time to placate their activist base.
The DSA’s official magazine, Democratic Left, published the organization’s formal endorsement rules last Friday.
Any candidate hoping for socialist backing must “accept and promote DSA’s program, and align their own campaign platforms with its contents to the best of their ability.”
That means the “Workers Deserve More” platform is not some loose talking point. It is a binding set of principles that DSA candidates are expected to campaign and govern by.
The goals laid out in the document’s final section are the most extreme.
It explicitly calls for a unicameral proportional legislature, effectively dissolving the Senate, and a parliamentary system that would abolish the presidency altogether.
In other words, the DSA wants to rewrite the Constitution and replace it with a socialist parliament. If that sounds like something out of a Bernie Sanders fan club fantasy, that is because it is.
For years, the Democratic Socialists of America have made noise about abolishing ICE and gutting border enforcement.
This new platform, though, takes their anti-American campaign a step further.
By targeting the foundations of the federal government itself, the movement reveals its true goal: to transform the United States beyond recognition.
Khanna, Omar, and Aguilar’s cautious statements show that Democrats understand how toxic this agenda is to most voters.
Yet, as more socialists notch victories in primaries, the party leadership will face growing pressure to embrace these radical reforms.
It is a political dilemma of their own making.
After years of pandering to the far left, establishment Democrats now find themselves unable to rein it in.
WATCH:
The mainstream media has largely ignored the DSA’s newest platform, pretending that its calls to abolish entire branches of government are just meaningless rhetoric.
But the endorsements and campaign money flowing from DSA tell another story.
Their candidates are being groomed for office with the expectation that they will help dismantle the constitutional order piece by piece.
Voters still clinging to the notion of a moderate Democratic Party should take note.
The socialist movement is not operating in the shadows anymore.
It is writing policy plans, running candidates, and dragging Democrats further left with every election.
And every time a lawmaker like Omar or Khanna dodges a question, that silence signals consent to the radicals waiting in the wings.
Unless moderate Democrats find the courage to denounce these anti-American ideas outright, the DSA has little reason to stop.
The next election cycles may not just be about policy differences but about whether the United States keeps the government our founders built or trades it for a socialist experiment that has never worked anywhere else.
