Republicans sound alarm over far-left group's push to transform America into 'Cuban dictatorship'

The DSA wants to scrap the Senate and the electoral college outright, not reform them, not tinker at the margins, but get rid of them. That's not a policy paper, that's a demolition plan for the framework the founders built specifically to keep raw population centers from steamrolling everyone else. And it's worth saying plainly: an organization with actual sway in Democratic primaries is now on record wanting to erase two of the biggest checks on majoritarian power in the country.

Republicans calling this out aren't being hysterical. When a group's stated goal is to concentrate power in a simple national majority, you don't have to reach far to see where that road leads. Cuba's not a random insult here, it's the logical comparison when the model is "one national vote decides everything, forever." Small states, rural states, the places that already feel like Washington doesn't hear them, would become irrelevant overnight under this vision.

What's actually notable is how casually this gets floated now, like it's just another item on a progressive wish list next to student debt and rent control. Twenty years ago a call to abolish the Senate would have been fringe even on the left. Now it's a talking point with organizational backing and sympathetic ears in Congress.

Voters deserve to know which Democrats are willing to say out loud whether they agree with this or not. Vague distancing isn't good enough when the group pushing it has real influence over who gets nominated.
