Germans better not vote right-wing or "Christian" again, otherwise they can say bye bye to public transportation funding for the next 4 years.

I wish that too. Sadly the people are stupid. Over 16 years of doing nothing, corruption and stopping investments into the country, have already been forgotten because now with the last government of SPD and Greens that wanted to reform and invest, and the everything blocking FDP, the effect of that mismanagement are shown and they are being blamed for. Not the once at fault...

Progressives need better social media managers and to not be above playing dirty. They should be spamming their ideologies over all social media, being loud about mistakes the others made, being low-brow and making memes, phrases and shit that even monkeys on the right can understand. Give the media something to talk about - all publicity is good publicity. The nazis and right-wingers learned it, when will the progressives?

Yes but we are also going to have to compromise on issues where a big part of the electorate does not hold doctrinaire progressive values (in Europe this means one thing: immigration). It won't be enough to spam the "stupid" voters with low-brow memes and make fun of "nazis" and hope that non-progressives suddenly become enlightened and see that their values are wrong. There will have to be substantive concessions on policy. Even "stupid" voters know when they're being manipulated.
