DSA official policy position document is calling for the other two. They’re super pro expansion of executive power except when it’s someone who doesn’t have the same agenda

when they say abolition of the senate, would it not include replacing it with anything? and dsa policy is the dems as a whole? and the dsa policy is actually what gets done? and how is packing scotus more power to the executive?

Who appoints the justices? It’s is a classic executive power grab just look at FDR(even though the new deal was the right prescription but nonetheless unconstitutional). I don’t really care what their policy positions are, but they cant possibly positions themselves as “protectors of democracy” with the mechanism they want to use

And yes, J6 was a huge blunder by the maga movement that destroyed their credibility. (For the record I am most inline politically with bush and Clinton, I am a neocon)

question 1) unanswered question 2) unanswered question 3) unanswered question 4) who appoints the justices? the justices are their own people. thats not the executive branch. the funny thing is that what we have now is the most partisan scotus ever. 33% were put in by trump alone, 33% by the two bushes, and 33% by dems. the republican justices are most often the most subservient to the president.

being a neocon is pathetic. lets go back to iraq and drop some bombs in the middle east and do nothing

wait but DSA is not in office rn… they aren’t even Democrats as we know them today. the DSA is in no position of power to implement any of these things and currently Democrats would never go that far against the status quo except to MAYBE expand SCOTUS. even then there’d be a ton of infighting from centrist democrats.

1) it would just be the house 2.0 (no point) 2) when mainstream Democrat machine starts using dsa to campaign then they endorse the policies. 3)they see it as the goal. DSA doesn’t understand political reality and thinks they can just do shit
