Far-Left Nation on July 4: 'Founders of Our Nation Were Colonizers'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Founders of Our Nation Were Colonizers,' 'American Exceptionalism Grounded in Racism'An essay published in the Nation on Friday accuses Americans celebrating independence of failing to "reckon with the fact that the founders of our nation were colonizers," with American "exceptionalism" and foreign policy being "grounded in racism," adding that issues such as climate change and "racist policing" are the "greatest existential threats" while global terrorism and threats from China, Russia, and Iran, are merely "imagined threats."
40% : No matter that the greatest existential threats are climate change and nuclear catastrophe, nor that pandemic disease, rising inequality, militarized and racist policing, and gun violence -- the burdens of which all fall heaviest on Black, Indigenous, and otherwise nonwhite people -- pose far greater dangers to American lives than do any imagined threats from China, Russia, Iran, or global terrorism.
