Overview
- The Democratic Socialists of America released the Workers Deserve More platform on Tuesday, publicly laying out sweeping structural and economic demands.
- The platform calls to abolish the Senate, expand the House of Representatives, replace the Electoral College with a national popular vote, and move toward a multi‑party system.
- It proposes extending full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and to noncitizens and includes calls to broaden ballot access for working people.
- A platform drafter said the group is envisioning replacing the presidency and the Supreme Court with executive and judicial bodies subordinate to Congress, but those proposals lack detailed language and would require constitutional amendments.
- The rollout follows rapid DSA membership growth and recent primary wins and has prompted quick backlash from Democrats and Republicans, including petitions and demands that party leaders distance themselves from DSA‑backed candidates ahead of the midterms.
