Two sitting members of Congress belong to an organization whose official platform calls for demolishing the constitutional order they swore, repeatedly,  to defend. 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) and Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) are proud, card carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America. 

The DSA's official national program — "Workers Deserve More," adopted at a 2021 convention and carried forward through 2025-2026 — is explicit about what it wants:

"Our goal is to put workers in charge of the government through a new democratic constitution that establishes civil, political, and democratic rights for all, is based on proportional representation in a single federal legislature, and ends the role of money in politics."

The DSA demands a new constitution. It describes the current Constitution as a product of slaveholders and capitalists, one that must be superseded — not revised. They are not asking for amendments to the Constitution — only its destruction. The Senate would be abolished, the Electoral College eliminated, the Supreme Court's power of judicial review gutted. 

Calling for this kind of constitutional demolition is entirely legal. Free speech in America protects even radical demands for systemic replacement, as long as they stop short of incitement to violence.

But if you are a member of the DSA, according to its own Constitution and Bylaws, you are required to "agree with the principles of the organization." The adopted national program is the "overall expression of the movement's aims." Joining is a formal act of subscription to those principles — including the one about replacing the constitutional framework.

This means that when AOC and Rashida Tlaib took their oaths of office after the 2021 "Workers Deserve More" platform, they supported the overthrow of the United States government.

And here is what they said in their oaths, every two years: 

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion..."

AOC and Tlaib never renounced their membership of the DSA after its position was officially to uproot the Constitution. At the very least, they did not find that part of the platform to be unacceptable; at worst they actively support it. 

And they then turn around and swear that they will defend the Constitution that their membership in DSA says they want to destroy.

Any reporter should ask them whether they agree that our country's Constitution must be abolished, and if not, why they are still members of the DSA. Every social media influencer should ask them this question all day every day until they respond. Because either they will be forced to denounce the DSA — or denounce the Constitution they swore to defend.

And this should lead to a more critical analysis of the DSA itself. The DSA is not just an American flavor of European socialist movements - it is more extreme than any mainstream European socialist party and it directly contradicts the liberal philosophy that underpins all of Western civilization. That is a topic for another essay.
