When you put it in context, what she's saying here isn't really that bad. It's as good of a response as you can write while still making the mistake of engaging in the terms and framing your enemy imposed on you.

I guessed this was in response to something and context doesn't really improve it. Her campaign was neither trans-inclusive nor aimed for prosperity for all, even in the bounds of a limited liberal democracy.

There's something to be said about being put into boxes by opponents, but really it's we (the most important pronoun) Communists who have to deal with that, not someone with a billion dollar media campaign behind them. (not that important of a pronoun, apparently)
