DSA co-chairman defends plan to abolish Senate: ‘We don’t think that’s extreme’
“I talked a bit about democracy, a ‘small d’ democracy, and that’s really important to us. “We believe government should be proportional to the population, and that’s a very basic core principle. We would expand what the House of Representatives does and make it more representative of the people who live in this country.”Abolishing the Senate would require amending the Constitution.
