The conservative project has so successfully cucked the left on trans rights that now, just 8 years later, libs are applauding a trans legislator, one of the 600 or so most powerful people in the country, who complies with a bathroom ban.

On the one hand, I understand the frustration with her not putting more of fight.
On the other hand, fighting would have prolonged the news cycle Mace/MTG were so clearly after without necessarily changing the outcome or swaying public opinion. 1/
Also, at a human level, I can’t blame her for not wanting to put herself through even more of this. I understand she is in a position of power and leadership that comes with greater responsibilities, but I still feel that may have been asking a lot, of anyone.
I can wish her acquiescence was a little more objectiony, but we all have far more reasons to take MTGs threats of shooting her very seriously. Dying in a congressional murder isn't it either. But you get to the crux of it. Her caucus needed to step up to defend her and their constituents last week
Mcbride just made the point that republicans are using trans rights a distraction from other meat and potato issues. which is true. Republicans know what their doing and they were laying a trap for mcbride.

McBride is clearly self hating.
The issue isn't with her, it's with EVERY OTHER member of the Democratic caucus. All the cis folks should be making noise and refusing to accept this.
this isn't hard to understand.
