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.

Agree or disagree, idc

    This is what critical support is for. Most users here support Hamas due to their actions against genocide but don't support their internal stances. The left has transphobic allies like Norm who are useful due to their knowledge or organizing abilities. We should not be asking if someone is perfect or even good. We should be asking if they can be used to advance socialism, and I don't know enough about Galloway to think he can be used to advance socialism, but I have critical support for any prominent figure standing with Palestine in a radical manner(excluding people standing with Palestine solely for reasons of antisemitism).
