Folding under 0 pressure
There was some pressure, the issue is that this won't actually reduce the pressure even slightly.
The pressure is lighter now that there's a divided opposition and he has a D next to his name on the ballot. I think it makes it even less acceptable, it paints the picture that the primary campaign was opportunistic.
I agree at least that it's even less acceptable now and paints the picture that he's an opportunist, but I think it's still not true that there's zero pressure. I think that, if anything, the bourgeois interests who underestimated his campaign before will now dump much more funding into whoever they think the opposition is to try to be sure to crush him if doing so is at all possible still.
0 pressure, besides the fact this is literally all the papers run and talk about instead of the extremely popular actual policies.
is it mistake to concede in the expectation he'll stop being smeared from this angle? obviously, this story is literally just an embellishment of the earlier statement because the initial "discourage" statement still hasn't stopped the media from centering this zionist narrative. bro needs a
media coach ffs
