as opposed to ceding all decision making to a "King", who happens to be deeply flawed in every possible way. Not every desire of the DSA members gets implemented, as we saw with Party's decision to go with Joe vs Bernie in 2020 and 2024.

As to your items of contention...

>'A single Federal Legislature'...not sure what you're saying, but sure that a change to our Constitutional Government is not in the offing.
>'Abolish the Electoral College'...unlikely, but worth discussing...it hasn't earned its existence thus far.
>'32 hr Work Week'...working from home and using AI is already lightening the work load...probably not going to happen in the near future.
>'Free College, and Housing'...Ireland along with other countries seem to be doing quite well with the College issue...and renters do need help...Dems have always supported
some form of assistance to the low and middle income members of our society.
>'Wealth Tax'...a definite part of the Dem Platform, w/o any push from DSA members...seems to strike a chord with most Americans.
>'Reduced Military Budget'...Eisenhower ("Beware of the Military/Industrial Complex") would join Democrats in studying that possibility.
>'Ending Sanctions, etc.'...Trump has proposed ending sanctions on Iran...not sue what your issue is...
>'End the War Machine...;...Dems support a strong military...and Congressional oversight on how it is used...Trump sees it as HIS 'Hammer' to be used however he wishes.

This Fall will be an opportunity for a Referendum on the Trumpian GOP...anxious to see how it turns out.
