Based on a podcast interview, it is clear she is well spoken and has a lot of accomplishments. She is committed to "ending capitalism". To her, nothing short of that has been or will be enough.
One of many views in the mix.
Candy: This platform won't end capitalism. It seems like stuff to do til later. Are you waiting til later or just holding back on plans?
These city idiots are so damn stupid, what are they going to do? Take greyhounds to the countryside to impose a revolution? Fly Delta airlines into the midwest? There's no trains they'll take from the cities into the country like in the Soviet Union, the human refuse of the cities will be sitting ducks if **** ever hit the fan.
Come on now, they would propose using the military to do the dirty work for them. You don't honestly think they have the guts or knowledge how to disarm and suppress people superior in real life living, do you?
Most of these twits would vomit at the idea of gutting a fish or butchering a chicken. Some would be worried about the feelings and pain of the living food in front of them, to where they would rather starve. They wouldn't know how to load a gun, much less hit the broad side of a barn.
Instead they would want to sit in an environmentally controlled room, giving orders to mindless grunts to do the dirty work, all the while they were taking selfies and updating their Facebook pages.
Some are so radical, if failure to comply with communist orders was not adhered to, they would order the rural towns of rebellion to be nuked.
It was not too long ago a leftist radical anti-2nd amendment person in government said as much, implying citizens would have to comply, because the government had nuclear weapons.
The inference being they would have to comply or face possible annihilation via nuclear holocaust.

Ending capitalism would mean she no longer wears the clothes she wears and should instead wear commie garbs, right?

She wants a revolution. She seeks to end America as we know it and install a socialist state "by any means necessary". If I stand in the way, she's fine with having me killed. Given that, who the hell cares about her connected street grids or any other of her views in the mix?
She is a young LGBTQ woman of color. She appears to have beaten a young black incumbent man accused by some of being too pro-development the conventional way.
She runs a youth development / leadership program.
I don't know the district in detail but it has a substantial growing upscale element.
Responsible growth is one of the three sections of her issue platform. She is for wage growth, affordable housing and inclusion. Reactions to these efforts will depend on how far she tries to go and how she goes about it.
Another is traffic & pollution. She says: "Incentivize health-conscious, eco-friendly, zero-emission options". She'll have to get more specific about level of benefits, availability, cost and how to pay for them.
Transparency and accountability. Important to her and appropriate. She lists creating a public bank here. That really doesn't have anything to do with the header but I guess she wanted to fit it in. A public bank will set off alarm bells with some. Community credit union is probably a less radical name (I was on the board of one long ago.). But she went with public bank. We'll see if that is priority others support and if it happens. Also supports collective bargaining for city employees.
Overall her platform sounds pretty traditional community activist. Maybe will more activity. We'll see.
Could be headed for bigger things fast; but as she says, first things first. The next four years. (Assuming no late changes from last ballots to be counted.)
I don't think advocating the violent overthrow of the US government and replacing it with a communist regime is a small issue, for which there can be balancing accomplishments or agendas.
The left is always very concerned about "domestic terrorists". Well.................... you have one right there in CO- go get her.
