Claims that Kamala is radical and never spoke about economic issues

[choie]

Can someone please enlighten me as to:

1. What about Kamala is "radical"? Her wanting Medicare to cover home care?
2. The basis for the accusations that she never spoke about her economic platform

Thank you in advance!

2. Ads from the GOP painted her unfairly as a radical. She didn't make the economy overarching issue

Trump as a threat to democracy and abortion rights were at least as dominant in her campaign. Remember Bill Clinton's "It's the economy stupid" slogan.

She probably needed to become the "change" candidate and propose a very extensive set of populist economic proposals that would have caught the attention of the media better-- she had a few, like on price gouging and affordable housing but more "exciting" proposals would have sold her as the real change candidate-- Trump again stole that mantle for himself and put the blame for high prices on Biden and by implication Harris-- just wait until people see what kind of change they get....
