What the fuck is wrong with her?

I don't think she's saying this because she prefers it, but rather because she sees it is necessary.

“If, for instance, we want to have a majoritarian coalition — not just electorally, but specifically on issues around trans rights — that, by necessity, is going to have to include people who have a range of thoughts,” McBride continued.

She is clearly arguing that its more effective to be open to a range of ideas than to not so.

“A binary choice between being all-on or all-off is not constructive for anyone,” she said. “It impedes the very needed path toward winning electorally, winning hearts and minds, and, most importantly, winning progress.”

NO.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. This isn’t politics; it’s a matter of morality.

There is no place in a civilized society for behavior that unpersons fellow human beings. Ever. Full stop. We do NOT need to ‘win the hearts and minds’ of people who want to be cruel to others for no damn reason. We need them to change, or leave.

She's either short sighted or suicidal.

Short sighted: she recognizes that what she's saying is correct in that it would lead to short term gains for the party but fails to recognize the long term effects that allowing "sidelining minorities for political gain" to regain steam it has lost over the past few decades.

Suicidal: she recognizes all of the above is actually absolutely the correct direction for any non-trans democrat who only cares about building party influence to push at this moment and for some god damn reason she's telling the evil fucks all about it in plain English.

Not too surprising from a pro-Israel candidate.
