Position of the Co-Chair of the DSA: You Decide How This Plays in November

In Shannon Bream's interview with Megan Romer, national co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, you might expect some evasive or euphemistic answers regarding their policy goals. Ms. Romer's answers were neither evasive or euphemistic. Here is an excerpt of that interview:

Bream: “Just give me sort of a true or false on these. Abolish the Senate?”

Romer: “True.” Bream: “Replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them?”

Romer: “Yep.” Bream: “Abolish ICE?” Romer: “Absolutely.”

Bream: “Abolish borders and give amnesty to anyone currently in the United States illegally?”

Romer: “As a long-term plan, yep.”

Bream: “Defund the Pentagon?” Romer: “Absolutely.” Bream: “Abolish prisons, at least in large part?”

Romer: “Yeah—again as part of a long-term program, yeah.”

Bream: “Government or public ownership of most large corporations?”

Romer: “Yeah, absolutely.”
