In Wu's case she's an opportunist. Her goal in life is to be some kind of thought leader. And, while she is very rightwing, she thought she had a better chance grifting to the left. She also doesn't realize just how rightwing she is. Because she is, frankly, not the sharpest....

Someone on Twitter found an interview with her when she was running for office, where she said she’s not a progressive and never was one. But suddenly she claimed to be a former progressive? I think most of them do it because they want to say “no I’m a good progressive!”

...Like I'm sure everyone calling the crap she said about finding the trans gene so we could get rid of it eugenics was a surprise to her. I don't think she knew that was a eugenicist opinion beforehand.

I don’t think she does now either because she has a great combo of having terrible beliefs but being ridiculously assured that she is correct and everyone else is wrong

It sucks that the coalition must be broad, I'm for proportional representation, but if you are in a FPTP system then the group you have to be part of is going to include a lot of people you don't like, unless you know how to bring the culture closer. You do them a favour by staying away.

You do what Zohran Mamdani is doing. You do what Graham platner is doing. You do popular left wing policies about making people's lives better and fighting against the oligarchy. That's how you win people over. You don't do that by throwing trans people under the bus. That's unacceptable.

I don't see any indication that you're pragmatic or a lefty. Repeating a strategy that has consistently failed for over 40 years isn't pragmatic, and you have a very rightwing perspective on the political spectrum.

What does that have to do with the question that was asked? They are not morally the same. They are both morally okay with committing a genocide, though. Which is unacceptable regardless of their differences.
