I would imagine those would go vote for the Bündnis Sarah Zarenknecht instead

Yeah but the green party is like the official antagonist for the AfD

Of all the parties there are their favourite target to delegitimize at any possiblity

Who are those 50.000 that went from green party to afd? What kind of reason could there possibly be for that?

Also interesting how it’s the same as in the us where the answer to “how’s the country doing economically” vastly depends on your news sources since only a very low amount of people in Germany are out of work, the Dax is hitting multiple records in recent months, the economy is growing, inflation is going down and the unions are achieving raises above the inflation level

But for some reason all you hear about is the food prizes which actually didn’t increase that much compared to the normal shrinkflation. Or everyone was portraying how there would be disastrous power outages after the switch off of the atomic generators but nothing like that happened. Or how Germany had the lowest inflation amongst most European countries despite having the biggest dependency on russian gas because the political decisions made where actually really on point.

But for some reason nothing of this is reaching AFD voters so they keep ignorant and think the economy is failing.

Kind of similar to how regions with the fewest migrants are the most racist since the media has full control over the scare tactics targeted at them without any reality interfering

Brain drain finally showing itself

Most of the creative and ambitious people left the GDR when the wall came down.

I heard a theory recently from someone that was part of the peaceful revolution in Leipzig and now thinks that many people actually didn’t mind the government telling them what to do and then not really having a choice in the matter and being under constant surveillance as long as they had a decent life. And that the protests in hindsight probably were more about them seeing how much better the life in the west was than about the personal and political freedom since the GDR apparently did a pretty good job to get rid of those concepts (at least for many citizens).

Now those same people are again voting only for their personal gains and not for freedom for everyone to live however they want as that was never in their interest to begin with

Why only those 3? Aren’t the visegrad states all under attack by disinformation? Or is it not valid since it’s coming directly through state officials in Slovakia and Hungary?

It weighs more and definitely could use a lot less space on the road and costume less fuel if it didn’t grow to this size but stayed small and with less weight

And still some see the US constitution as this pinnacle of democracy when it’s vastly outdated by now

Even the founding fathers anticipated a lot of reforms and for the whole thing to become obsolete quite soon but yet here we are with people worshipping them as this infallible being and weighting their words on a scale as if it’s impossible for them to be wrong

The problem is that newspapers were kind of the only means to get the news in a concentrated form - now they are obsolete since everyone gets their news pretty much live and when the newspaper would be out the next morning it’s already old

No of course not - some are just falling for the Republican plants

After years of not being successful with the hunter biden story trumpists are probably celebrating with how easy it is to turn people away from biden by just throwing shit about the Israel war at him to make it look as if he’s somehow responsible for it…

Yeah a lot of the anti biden posts feel orchestrated to discourage people from voting similarly how it worked for trump against Clinton

I think the problem he’s referring to is that some people are naming every small racist prick a nazi and that that devalues the meaning of the word.

Kind of how comparisons with the holocaust are very strictly regulated in Germany in order to not shift the Goalpoast.

While also complaining about the boat going slower under democrat leadership as they had to stop rowing to fix the hole

I don’t think it’s serious - they just know that they have their right wing supporters safe already and try to gain more votes in the center by looking more moderate

Surely that’s work worthy of an IG Nobel prize?

Yeah. Hamas is using the citizens of Gaza as human shield from day one. It was impossible to fight this way with 0 casualties. I was only asking how that person imagined an appropriate response if even a single dead person was too much.

Bibi should be gone today rather than tomorrow - but Israel clearly had a right to respond to what Hamas did and the fact that Hamas was playing dirty all the time makes it impossible to respond in a way that doesn’t cause civil deaths.

So the appropriate reaction to what Hamas did would’ve been what exactly? Waving the white flag and rolling over?

Yeah

“Genocide Joe” seems like the perfect republican plot to make people abstain from voting because the deliberately leave out how Trump would make matters 100 times worse.

Biden is constantly challenging Netanyahu while Trump would deliberately hand them a full and permanent occupation of Palestine on a silver plate.

People already forgot that it was trump who moved the embassy to Jerusalem basically destroying the USAs support for a two state solution?

Centrists are just right wing but too embarrassed to admit to it.

So no USP any more?
