This proposal is strategic. We are currently in the run up to the primaries. In the general election, she would lose if she stuck to such a platform. But in the primaries, she is only competing for Democratic votes. With the rise of AOC and others like her, the evidence shows that anti-capitalist ideas are playing well among Democrats. So the Democratic primaries in today’s environment are a race to the far edges of the left, and this seems like a reasonable strategy to win that race. She would have to use a different strategy in the general election, and my guess is she will quietly abandon this platform if she wins the nomination.
