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.

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.
