The DSA Isn’t Wrong About Everything The Democratic Socialists of America's (DSA) proposal to abolish the US Senate has been met with scorn and ridicule from the Republican Party and its allied media organs.
However, as James Madison himself acknowledged, the Senate is a product of compromise – one that was necessary at the time but has since become an undemocratic relic.
The DSA's platform is indeed radical in many respects, but on this particular issue, they have a point. The Senate's defenders often romanticize it as a deliberative body that represents states rather than people.
