I like how simply calling him a communist is not enough, they need to call him an "extreme" communist to make extra sure that people think twice before supporting him.

In reality he's more like a Mamdani Democrat that sometimes quotes Mao to make his democratic socialism appear more radical than it actually is, but obviously that is lost on all the 5-year-olds.

Extreme communist implies there is a moderate communist.
