Here in Germany we’re gonna have a new chancellor soon after a whole 16 years of Merkel.

The Green Party’s candidate, Annalena Baerbock, isn’t great but she’s the only candidate who remotely considers the climate a factor that might be worth keeping in mind, and as you could expect, the conservative CDU, the libertarian FDP and ofc the fascist AfD hate her guts for it, alongside large parts of the media. They’re trying to Corbyn her, pretty much.

And the libs’ analysis of this: “Ah yes, it must be because she is a woman.”

We have had Angela Merkel in office for the past sixteen years. SIXTEEN YEARS.

The fact that maybe she’s getting shat on because she’s trying to minimally go against capital doesn’t even cross their minds. Terminal idpol brain.

Is the Green Party more popular than Die Linke?

I’ve been reading Stasi State or Socialist Paradise, really makes me sad for what could have been, at least for the eastern third of Germany.

definitely, with the decline of the SPD they’re probably the second most popular party in Germany right now, only behind the CDU

Out of the big parties, Die Linke is the least popular alongside the FDP, except for a few states in East Germany where they’re still big

Young urban folk love green parties, presumably across Europe
