This backpedal comes right after meeting with AOC and Bernie Sanders. The two have rubbed their shitlib off on him. Previously he seemed to not be totally for or against (could have generously been seen as "hiding his power level") but now clearly against the phrase.

I still hope Zohran wins though. Him losing would be a big win for the pieces of shit in the media and in power looking to prove that even suggesting Israel might be doing something wrong is forbidden.

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.
