If she was radical she wouldn't be the democratic party nominee. She may endorse some radical policies but ultimately she is a party puppet.
reply
The point they are making is that she and Biden are doing the bidding of China. China is assuredly communist. Therefore, that's what she is.
reply
That reasoning gets a little goofy when you also factor in that they are doing the bidding of Israel, which is not generally thought to be communist.
reply
China is not Israel's friend. It stands to reason they aren't either.

She is a radical pretending to be moderate, one reason she won't talk to anyone publicly. The media and left wing pundits say she is a "moderate", more proof that she is radical.
George McGovern was the nominee in 1972 and he supported universal health care.
She now suppports fracking in PA, has her campaign (obviously not her) explained the sudden shift? Biden in 2020 said he would ban fracking on federal land and he was supposed to be moderate.
She has publicly railed against price "gauging".
She wants to increase corporate tax rate from 21 to 28 percent.
She wants to tax unrealized gains.
She supports taxing capital gains as ordinary income (which would raise the highest bracket to 44%).
Edit: the radical question is relevant but less important than: what will her policies be? Her economic and tax proposals are disqualifying. Her price 'gauging' remarks are disqualifying (the policy and her mispronunication).
reply
As far as I can tell any shift in her positions can be attributed to her having no principles. Her campaign is taking purely strategic stances on things. Whatever amount of radical she is is just a reflection of how unhinged the agenda behind her is.
reply
People make the mistake of assuming that she believes the things she ran on when she was a California Senator. She took radical positions in order to appease her radical voter base.
