He's a transphobe and a racist.

I've seen too many on Reddit and Twitter that say "Oh but isn't it great that we're finally getting recognition!"

No. Not from him. He will likely steer the attention to his org and those that are adjacent to him, which are typically PatSocs and TERFs.

No.

We need to do better. But Galloway gets away with this shit on the left because he says the "most radical" thing next to "some problematic shit."

No.

"Some problematic shit" is still quite big.

Nobody should support George Galloway.

A typical anti-war or anti-Zionist SocDem would be better or any other milquetoast anti-war liberal or peace candidate.

^ There, I said it.

It's bad enough that I saw a People's World article once that we had to take down exalting the "growing peace movement" or "anti-Zionist movement" in Britain.

Bleh. There are a bunch of anti-Zionist figures in Britain that aren't George Galloway. I literally have British friends talking about the lower levels and municipal elections and there are plenty of candidates.

But George Galloway is "outspoken" and has "fiery rhetoric" and the rhetoric is all that matters for some "communists."

I think people like him because he focuses on workers' issues, not the Culture Wars

Yet he invokes culture war talking-points.
