Still waiting for him to do literally anything if consequence, but the optics-carers go off i guess
people act like he's running to be mayor of Palestine or like he's walked back "i'm going to arrest Netanyahu" or like any of his actual public policy i.e. rent control
Feeling it with a presidential candidate in Ireland and her throwing fellow leftists like Mick Wallace under the bus. The only thing that can motivate me to vote is to send a clear message to ruling powers that isn’t some skewed poll or ignored demonstration.
what did she say about Mick Wallace?
More what she avodied saying when she was asked about his claims about Azov.

She said he was great TD (you know from 2012 to 2019), rightfully mentioned some of the good work he did on the Gardai as a TD. But there is an implication there that he fell from grace as an MEP from 2019 to 2024. A time where he and Clare gained interational notarity railing against NATO, defending AES and speaking up for Palestine. She herself is a more a career politician who only left Labour years ago because they ran Michael D instead of her. Mick and Clare while being trots where a blaze of glory for the Irish left.
Correction: Mick Wallace was more aligned with the CPI then any of the trot groups towards the end. Clare Daily was in a trot party - Socialist Party (CWI affiliated back then) but kicked out for working with wallace.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
i'm disappointed he isn't standing up to zionists but he has a lot of room to backpedal
rolling over to Zionist feelings on something irrelevant truly doesn’t bode well for when the rubber meets the road, when it’s actually controversial positions in favor of Palestinian liberation
torn between that worry and "maybe he's letting them have that one because it's so minor"
When did he walk these back
He hasn't, but people here act like he did with his response to what is literally a slogan
You say this like him condemning "Black lives matter" because "All lives matter" wouldn't be a terrible indictment, and this situation is a lot less different from that than some might wish it was.
Except it is a very different situation precisely because he doesn't condemn the phrase
He chose the word discourage very carefully in an attempt to be diplomatic to the establishment without actually condemning those of us who say it
Sorry, let me rephrase to the very different situation:
It is like him discouraging the use of "Black lives matter" because a white rights activist told him that it makes them think of the knockout game and South Africa's "white genocide" and is a denial of the fact that "All lives matter". My point is that he's ceding ground to the Zionists as though they are making a point worth respecting in policing reasonable language.
