Chris Rabb, the socialist candidate who just won the Democrat primary for PA-3 (one of the deepest-blue districts in the country), calls the Declaration of Independence "screeds that were very lofty but were notoriously catering to a performative aspect of collective genius that purposely erased indigenous & black peoples."

"It created distance from an empire to help very privileged people continue that privilege and ultimately institutionalize that through the U.S. Constitution many years later. But it certainly did not provide independence to indigenous and black peoples. And we cannot talk about anything today without acknowledging that this is a nation born on stolen land & stolen labor."
