When Saint Martin retired,
they thought they'd hire Heiko.
That was no solution,
she don't know the Constitution... 🎶

Tareq Alaow already made headlines two months ago, when the ineligible Flüchtling set out to erase the inscription "DEM DEUTSCHEN VOLKE" from the architrave over the entrance to the German Bundestag. I'm not going to shed a tear over him.

In this interview, LINKE chairwoman Hennig-Wellsow is demonstrating her unbelievable incompetence; she unconditionally opposes Bundeswehr operations abroad, she wants to end all operations, but she doesn't know if and where our troops are currently operating...

Yet again, lovely Hennig-Wellsow once again exhibited her solid incompetence.
This time she proved that she had no clue about the election manifesto of the party, over which she is presiding. She couldn't even answer the simplest questions about their métier: tax policy. Moreover, she - once again - contradicted herself when being asked about operational missions by the Bundeswehr.

Absolutely agree. But the threats against him are despicable and should be punished with prison sentences.

So do I. But it's questionable if he really received death threats, since he hasn't made a complaint to the police, or it may also be possible that he perceives harsh, but legit criticism as slanders or intimidation. If he, however, really got indisputable, verifiable death threats, he ought to report to the police.

The Greens today announced thar their "chancellor candidate" will be announced on April 19, either Robert Habeck or Annalena Baerbock.

While public speculation is that it's 50-50, I'm relatively sure Baerbock will get it because women seem to have sort of a "privilege" here.

As I have already written in the other thread: No need to invoke 'female privilege' when Baerbock is simply the better candidate. She has not only better political instincts and massive intra-party support, but also resembles Merkel in her calm and unpretentious appearance. Voters will like her.

May it be true taht you work for extra 3 or for the Postillon? Is that the reason you criticized me for posting clips from the heute show, the chief competitor of your employer?

[Sir Mohamed]

Bit off topic, but is it known that Merkel plans to do after leaving office? I still find it stunning that this is the 1st time since WWII a chancellor voluntarily retires from office.

Will like her. At this point, many voters have not even heard of her. With Merkel, it was the same.

These preference polls are completely meaningless (aside from a few high-info voters, it’s basically about name recognition). Wait until she is nominated and regularly appears on the campaign trail.

Bad take ✔️
Denial of reality ✔️
Deeply sexist stance ✔️
Contempt for non-Green voters (i.e. tax-payers) ✔️
Trolling ✔️

You're living proof that Antifa fascists sound, think, and argue exactly like their brown brethren from QAnus.

Friendly reminder to all non-Germans on this board: Don't take this user or anything he writes seriously. He is the only German that thunks the FDP were a left-wing party, the AfD were a socialist party and [Süddeutsche[/i] and Die Zeit were right-wing newspapers. He is moreover the only person who perceives Anja Reschke, Georg Restle, Mario Sixtus and Tarik Tesfu as competent as serious journalists...
And that's because it's what they taught him at his green-esoteric Rudolf Steiner school.

Moreover, I deeply dislike Merkel, but comparing and even equating an intelligent, hard-working and well-mannered woman like her with an utter loser like Baerbock is simply disgusting and uncalled-for.
Merkel has achieved so much in her private life before entering politics, she was an outstanding, self-disciplined pupil, she studied a genuine science (unlike Baerbock), she had a job, worked hard for it and paid taxes (unlike Baerbock), she was part of a revolutionary movement that tore down a wall and a left-wing fascists regime, which Baerbock wants to revive.
Moreover, Merkel asserted herself, prevailed and gained acceptance as a Protestant, East-German, child-free, remarried woman within a deeply misogynic, Catholic and mostly Southern party. Baerbock hasn't achieved anything in her life, she is perceived as arrogant, snobbish, uneducated, and intellectually unable to cope. She just happens to be a member of a misandristic party at the right time, which enabled her a taxpayer-funded political career despite being completely and thoroughly and utterly incompetent and workshy. Without her party and without the existence of parliaments she would dwell underneath a bridge and wail over the world and her life being unfair to her.
If Baerbock really somehow manages to become chancellor*in - and that is a genuine imminent peril I truly dread - she would be going to step down after a week due to suffering "burnout" and enjoy her immensely generous pension, financed by us tax-payers.

Since destroying your sexist Antifa bubble is fun, here are some videos by Tim Heldt (over 1M subscribers) destroying feminazism and Gendersternchen, wherefore he regularly receives death threats from your Antifa comrades because he dares to tell the truth about feminazism and because is intellectually superior to you blobs.
(I could also post Holger's videos, but you already know them and therefore regularly insult him for producing and uploading them.)

I know that you already told me that you refuse to read any articles or watch any clips that don't confirm your world view, but maybe you like this article by your favorite Antifa newspaper taz, which claims that even trees can be sexist, too.

Sahra Wagenknecht runs for the top spot of the NRW LINKE state list for the federal election, while many of her comrades prompt her to renounce her candidacy because she dared to criticize Antifa movements such as Unteilbar, Black Lives Matter, or Fridays for Future as self-righteous in her new book, while allegedly defending the Querdenken movement.

What would you say are the chances of a Grune-SPD-Die Linke coalition right now? Because it seems very possible if CDU doesn't get out of its slump and they can work together that Germany would have its first left wing government in a while.

Very low. There is no reason why the Greens should form a coalition with the (radical) LINKE when they attempt to establish themselves as a pragmatic center-left party. Greens-SPD-FDP is a possibility though. Would also be a more realistic majority.

What would an Ethiopia coalition look like in practice? What would its priorities be?

It really depends on who the CDU/CSU nominates as their chancellor candidate.
If they chose Laschet, there will might be a numerical green-red-red majority.
However, that will most likely not translate into a R₂G coalition, as the  foreign policy goals of the Left differ widely from those of the SPD and Greens. Plus, I don't think Vice Chancellor and SPD vice-chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz harbors way too much unsurmountable aversion for the Left, after some certain domestic terrorist group, whose name I am not allowed to mention on Atlas, prompted Hamburg to descend into civil war during the G20 summit during his tenure as Hamburg Mayor.

If they chose Söder, the parties will most likely form a black-green or black-yellow government.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

I never heard that name for a coalition, but you certainly refer to a inverted Ampel coalition, i.e. a green-yellow-red or green-red-yellow coalition.
Honestly, I don't know. 🤷🏻‍♂️ We've never had a precedential 'Ethiopia coalition' on the state level, or more precisely, we just missed such a precedent after BW Governor Winfried Kretschmann just recently decided to thwart that idea. 🙅🏻‍♂️
But I guess t would most likely be like a red-green coalition during the Schröder era, just with an emphasis on stopping climate change and insect death, plus the expansion and the upgrading of the digital infrastructure.

[crals]

Hypothetically, what government would most likely result from this? Another GroKo led by Laschet?

[Yeahsayyeah]

The first attemt would probably be a Jaimaica (CDU-Green-FDP) coalition unless overhang seats lead to a black-green majority in itself.

[Mike88]

The other scenario, with Söder as Chancellor candidate, CDU/CSU crushes it with 38%, 19 points ahead of SPD:

The Union and FDP would have 46% in this scenario, would that be enough for a majority?

Wonderful results, let's hope Söder can get the party back on track, without weak wishy-washy politics.

So, once and for all, those two polls finally made it clear: Certain Green extremists prefer Laschet to Söder just because they know that their party's odds of emerging victorious out of the federal election raise significantly with the former as CDU chancellor candidate, even if they vehemently deny this fact (like they deny all facts of the world)...
