Just like he did in the US election. I hope Germany has better safeguards than we did.
Safeguards: Harder to bribe any one single politician due to the sheer chaos that is their parliament. Either everyone gets a bribe or no one does.
sheer chaos
Because there's more than two parties...? I don't know if I necessarily disagree (because, you know, politics haha am i right) but the wording is curious.
kinda yeah -- I'd argue that people rarely vote "tactfully" in Germany (vote for purple otherwise yellow will win), so if one party is rampant with corruption and the media reports it, then people can happily vote for another party.
Or the party itself can split off into something else, as what with happened with the BSW being an interesting faction centred around one woman (though I've heard she is quite progressive).
Contrast that all with the UK. The only true left-wing leader we had was Jeremy Corbyn and his own party (Labour) cannibalized him. Due to our FPTP voting system, the left still had to vote for Labour or let the Tories win.
I mean, right now people are desperate to prevent the AfD so many of us are indeed considering which of the larger parties to vote for, just for that purpose alone. So we do have that sort of phenomenon but to a lesser extent.
Calling it "chaos", like it's a bad thing that change in the landscape is easier than elsewhere, is still curious lol.
I’ve heard she is quite progressive
She considers herself leftist but that's all it is.
Chaos
I meant it in a good sense. In the Chaos Computer Club sense.
considers herself leftist
I've heard she's got some good anti-corruption policies, but that's all I know. I do find it weird that there's a whole party centred around one person.
Chaos Computer Club
Got it lol
Not every opinion Wagenknecht has voiced in the past has been bad but in general, imho, she and her people just like being against whatever the government does (they do have that in common with the AfD). Also she longs for the good old GDR days so there's that.
I do find it weird that there’s a whole party centred around one person.
Yes.
You mean that?
He most certainly is. What are you going to do about it?
Very funny that Brazil is basically the only country so far with the balls to have stood up to this loser
Have you seen videos from Brazil? Everyone's either an undercover cop or an assassin about to shoot at an undercover cop, at any given moment.
Compared to that, what could muskrat threaten them with?
What did they do?
Nothing, apart from pointing it out.
Musk was free to express his opinion, the spokesperson added. “After all, freedom of opinion also covers the greatest nonsense.”
Why not elect his preferred candidate and allow him to rule by proxy?
As recently as 5 years ago I was convinced that at the end of the day this guy does more good than bad for the human race. But he is really, really putting an effort into tipping the scales, isn't he?
I was certain he was a net negative when he called that diver pedo for mocking his unserious marketing pitch for a rescue submarine. That was the point I realized he was just a pile of cash with an ego.
For those unaware, the AfD wants one of the most export reliant countries on the planet to just leave the EU. Even among far right parties in the EU, this is exceptionally unpopular. There is probably no other party who would even consider leaving the EU after what happened with the UK. It goes to show how absolutely irrational the German far right are.
Or how stupid you'd have to be to vote for them.
Or filled with hate. Unfortunately, a family member recently joined them. Someone who made his Abitur with grade of 1.0. This is pretty much the best school-graduation possible in Germany. And he has a Master's degree.
Highly intelligent but hates foreigners because he had a few bad experiences in his youth. That seems to be enough for some. Very very sad.

That is an old statement after the US electing trump, TWICE
But the US doesn’t have one person = one vote. I believe Germany does.
low education + lots of propaganda
Insufficiently educated.
See the UK and Brexit.
But but but, we're the Uber race, man!!

Perhaps he can visit Germany, and the Germans are better marksman 🎯
Go Israeli on him
Slowly feels more and more like Cyberpunk 2077.
I wonder if he’ll throw lotteries there too
Nah, this is not allowed in working democracies.
