Are you for real you fucking idiot

"It's not our task to do something constructive"

 

[Xando]

Yooooo this is straight fire

 

[Caesar III]

Saw 46,7 on Twitter. My bad, won't happen again

It is not as bad but bad enough...

 

[Xater]

Are you for real you fucking idiot

"It's not our task to do something constructive"

Clearly calling them a political party is total bullshit.

 

[Hektor]

The fuck is that necktie from Gauland anyways

 

[Caesar III]

His reaction to the audience was even worse...

 

[oti]

I don't really get why the journalist is there.

 

[Guy.brush]

Almost 50% for AfD in Sachsen.

Jesus.

So much irony in this. Ex-GDR citizens voting for a party partially pushed and sponsored by a guy that wants to resurrect the Soviet Union.

 

[Shiggy]

The fuck is that necktie from Gauland anyways

It's his only tie, search "Gauland Krawatte" on Google Images.

 

[Cosmozone]

Eff this outcome. Low polling as usual as well.

 

[avaya]

what was the turnout? and how did that split between east and west?

 

[Xater]

what was the turnout? and how did that split between east and west?

75% I think was mentioned earlier on ARD. Participation actually went up.

 

[oti]

Gauland in full drunk racist grandpa mode right there with the Greens.

 

[Muffin1611]

I think Özdemir might be my favorite major politician right now

 

[Hektor]

It's his only tie, search "Gauland Krawatte" on Google Images.

why

 

[Mr.Mike]

What happens if a coalition doesn't come together? Are minority governments a thing in Germany?

 

[Bitch Pudding]

14,4% of the citizens of Tuntenhausen (Bavaria) voted for AfD. Just saying...

 

[Blablurn]

Man, just woke up here in China.

Fucking hell, really ashamed right now :/

 

[Xando]

Yes minority government could be possible but not likely

[paperboywriter]

Fuck Eastern Germany. They had the right idea with that anti-faschistischen-schutzwall.
I feel so embarrassed to come from there today.

 

[avaya]

so this is a legitimate disgrace.

 

[Bedlam]

Dude, 3 out of 4 Eastern Germans did not vote for right-wing parties. Please stop generalizing and demonizing. I'm from Dresden and the situation is bad enough. So let's not trash all the good people here.

 

[Shiggy]

Frauke Petry on ZDF right now. Really a big question whether she'll remain head of AfD given that she's against the right-extremist part of the party.

 

[Xando]

New projections

 

[Metal B]

This doesn't change anything and will only help the AFD. We need to help East Germany more or else nothing will change.

 

[Irminsul]

What happens if a coalition doesn't come together? Are minority governments a thing in Germany?

Well, in theory... There are no deadlines to form a new government. As long as there is no election for a new one, the old one just stays in place.

 

[oti]

Von der Leyen is too much in mother mode this evening.

 

[Pennywise]

They're gonna cut her off.
Same will happen with Weidel along the way.

 

[Caesar III]

This. It is nearly as bad here - Chemnitz.

 

[paperboywriter]

So what do you suggest? How do we 'help'?

 

[Venuspower]

What happens if a coalition doesn't come together? Are minority governments a thing in Germany?

I theory it is a thing. But:
- Germany never had a minority government for the whole country.
- Only some states in Germany already had a minority government. But they failed quite fast.

Thats why it is pretty safe to say that a minority government will not happent. If they are not able to do a coalition we will have a new election.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Can't wait to see political media coverage being disproportionately high for AfD as populism generates clicks...

 

[Ladekabel]

Von der Leyen is too much in mother mode this evening.

She wants to be Merkel's successor after all.

 

[Kordelle]

Can't wait to see political media coverage being disproportionately high for AfD as populism generates clicks...

so just like before

 

[oti]

She wants to be Merkel's successor after all.

If that's the case she's really bad at it.

 

[Liha]

CDU is a 23% party without Merkel, the party is in serious trouble.

 

[Dangansona]

As a new resident from a country that still has a ~40% approval rating for the golfer in chief, I can't help but be surprised by the dismay of ~13% for AFD. Especially with higher turnout that seems like a luxury.

Still, im sympathetic.

 

[cyba89]

Anne Will doing a good job today.

We should know better.

 

[Muffin1611]

Having right extremists in parliament is a "good development"? It can't "hurt democracy"? Couldn't disagree with that guy more.

We take right extremism very serious. My Facebook feed is in total shock.

 

[Blablurn]

Then she needs some wins. Every time i hear about her its about a scandal!

Keep in mind this is the first time since WWII that a far right party has been elected into the Bundestag at all.

 

[Dangansona]

Yes I do get that. It sucks either way :/

Can someone tell me how Aichach-Friedberg voted? Don't have access to a computer at the moment.

 

[paperboywriter]

It's quite the interesting coalition situation with a government unable to govern and a opposition that couldn't oppose eachother more.
I'd say big coalition gets prob more done than this garbage.

PS can someone link that interactive map again?

 

[Metal B]

So what do you suggest? How do we 'help'?

I'm not a politician and have no experience around economical politics, but we can agree, throwing around the blame and wanting to punish those, who feel down, doesn't help anybody and just will split our country even more.

 

[DerZuhälter]

Guys. Go to bed or do something productive. Not worth it to get worked up about this crap anyway.

 

[Xater]

This should be it.

 

[Dangansona]

Shit.
