Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

*SPD

I'm already dreading the elections...

Edit: realized that BBC is calling them SDP. Which is... weird. It's a mix of translating the name, but also keeping the letters, but wrong.

Just write the real name and translate its meaning.

They also do it for the other parties, where it by pure chance works. Except for AfD. Where they don't translate the initials. Very chaotic

I think it’s fairly common to not translate the initials for political party names. Most English commentary I’ve seen uses just the initials. That said, it is a little weird they translated the names and used the initials at the same time.

"Social Democrat Party" maybe?

Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands = Socialist Democratic Party of Germany

When will the USA have version of the SPD which can contend with the Democrats and Government of Putin?
