    She’s not extreme. She’s a liberal woman who came from a blue collar background. That’s literally all it takes to not be a real contender right now.

    Politically, she’s pretty moderate, like every other dem in congress.

      I think what people are saying is that Democrats need a candidate that appeals to Republicans. She’s ‘extreme’ from the perspective of a Republican.

        Biden is a milquetoast moderate democrat and the republicans think he’s radical.

        If a democrat ran in a conservative platform they’d just shift further right and call that person a radical liberal.

          anyone to the left of “PUT GAYS AND TRANS PEOPLE IN CAMPS AND KILL THEM” is considered radical by conservatives.

        Republicans wouldn’t even be worth pissing on if Congress votes 14a3 to ban Trump from office. It would make room for Biden to retire too.
