THE DEMOCRACY REPLACEMENT PROJECT
The Democratic Socialists of America have a few ideas for saving American democracy.
Get rid of the Senate. Abolish the Electoral College. Replace the presidency and Supreme Court with institutions subordinate to Congress.
And while we’re at it, write a new Constitution.
These aren’t accusations of a right-wing conspiracy. They’re proposals from the DSA’s own political program.
The insanity doesn’t stop there. Independent researcher Jennica Pounds, better known as Data Republican, has spent the past several days releasing what she calls The Democracy Files, an investigation into a network of activists, former federal officials and nonprofit organizations allegedly preparing to challenge the legitimacy of the federal government.
