I wasn't combining issues, I was taking each of them separately. I.e. as I described, I am radical left on some issues, radical right on others, moderate on more. I don't think it makes sense to throw issues together and try to come up with some overall label for a lot of people.

In a country as divided as ours where it's rare to get above 60%, sometimes even 55% agreement on most issues, I don't think it's particularly expansive to consider 25% as being radical. YMMV. As mentioned I would do the same on the other side. 25% is less than support than there is for building a wall with Mexico (40% ish), which is generallly and correctly considered to be strongly opposed, less than the % who would not take a FDA-approved COVID vaccine if it were free (at least 35%) which is certainly considered a radical view around these parts, etc. 'Only' 25% is quite a limited amount and definitely identifies issues outside of mainstream political thought IMO.
