Just go the vote, and make sure your family and friends go to give their votes.
I’m not local, I cannot vote over here, but had seen multiple times in modern times voter suppression has been a big deal, it’s easier to make you not to bother to vote than change your mind who to vote.
I had worked brexit UK, where people voted it due they weren’t happy about the PM. As it was good time to vote against him. Without thinking what brexit actually was. So use your voice by voting. What do you wish the future of country will be in this new era.
I know German has issues, as every Europe union contries. If the problems are easy to solve they would have been solved already, don’t belive one tag line promises.
I’m just wanna say, as a fellow user. Just go to vote.
I’m not sharing many values with CDU but Germany would be well advised to have one democratic party which is distinctively stronger than AFD. And at the moment it seems that CDU is the only democratic party which can keep the country in one piece. I would very much prefer to have a strong CDU than a strong AFD and many mediocre democratic parties.
The CDU is already voting together with the AfD in several parliaments including the national one, I really don’t think the CDU is going to help us out of this mess. They want exactly the same things as the AfD, they’re just slightly less crass about it.
I’m not trying to defend this behavior. I agree with you on that. But they do not want exactly the same thing as AFD. E.g. CDU is pro European, pro Ukraine and they take a stand against fascism.
How can you take a stand on fascism when you vote with the fascist party and copy their xenophobic and anti-“woke” rhetoric and politics?
CDU isn’t keeping the country in one piece. They’re rhetorically dividing it through populism and lies.
They are trying to collect AFD voters.
Yeah, and all that actually does is strengthen the AfD by making their talking points socially acceptable.
Yes, it does. You are right. But this doesn’t change my initial statement.
Voting CDU is just not that different to voting AfD, that’s the point.
In few countries in eu “the local CDU” had been vocal how they would never work with “local AfD”, but when both of them got most votes, they had put together the government with only two parties. And that is my biggest worry. Like I do not agreeing with CDU, but them working with others that AfD is way better option that they going to bed with them. As it’s just possible being a huge mess, not like usa mess, but both parties just siding with the biggest bullies and not getting anything done. Still blaming opposition parties (their old enemies) and minorities. Plus in current world tensions, governments parties that is just having inner fightings is not good for Germany or for European Union.
