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.

fundamentally anti-democratic because you are subverting democratic choice by misleading the public about what it would mean to choose you. Turns out that tends to sit better with rightists for some reason . . .

That's a great point, leftist or at least center-left policies tend to be more popular than right wing ones so hiding power level is more beneficial to the right. And you're not going to hide your secret leftist views from the corporate interests so being shifty on the left only makes it look like your hiding something from the public.
