Like, giving independence to California and Cascadia for example. Because if you're a communist party and believe the US is a settler state, it's logical to strive to break up that state. But I'm not Statesian so I don't know in what way this is discussed in the parties.

Not entirely, I doubt it. At most one would expect Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and perhaps some of the other Pacific island territories to be freed, but these are places that are literally under colonial occupation and not incorporated into the country proper, even by todays standards, in many cases these are people who can't even vote. As for the rest, I don't see it as being feasible to rip apart the current constituent US into several smaller settler dominated states, as this doesn't address the real issue. Providing equal representation and political agency to the Indigenous as well as preserving and protecting their culture and historic rights is what should be prioritized. This is what was done in the Soviet Union.
