    Oh god, I just moved here please no. Lol. No AfD, ideally no CDU either. I just want to live in a country doing well and moving in a progressive direction where everything is getting better. Bitte.

      Genuinely surprised that Western media painted the CDU a salvation front against the AfD, but their Wahlsprogramm was equally, if not more bigoted and extremist than the AfD (at least on paper)

        I think a lot of Western media is owned by the ultra wealthy or are incompetent. The CDU is clearly, for my sake, analogous to Republicans in the US pre-trump. They serve corporate masters, their policies are not based in scientific knowledge aimed at improving the lives of their constituents, and they will continue to make most everything they touch worse slowly. The CDU will slowly lead the country into needing either a non-corporate serving left response or the far right who will offer false but powerful narratives about how their corporate serving conservative based policies will be totally different than the CDU’s.

        It’s just… It’s predictable and sad. We need to strengthen our education systems, our media systems, and create better systems for getting local people involved in local issuesbl and making a difference because I think that’s a good booster against bullshit politicians.

        CDU is AfD light. While CDU “merely” fists us in the bum to enrichen the rich, AfD would do the same but with the jackhammer. It’s so obvious and yet people keep eating up their shit and think they will do any better. The protest voters will be in for a rude awakening. Just like Trump voters.
