It is an oath I saw taken by 435 members of the U.S. House and 100 U.S. senators six times during my years on Capitol Hill. However, none of them called for the outright abolition of the Constitution and American democratic republicanism as the current socialist democrats are doing. Just because a political party once achieved majority status doesn’t mean it exists forever. It doesn’t take long for a political party of any size or power to evaporate into thin air because of misguided policies. The DSA’s platform may amount to nothing, but it might be the shot across the bow of the Democratic Party that starts to sink either or both.
