    I wanted to say that the CDU/CSU has the charisma of a rotten potato and that I doubt they’ll rake in many votes, but then I remembered who our current chancellor is.

      A good chunk of people only look at their bottomline. And for some it’s “we have less money right now than under the conservative government”. Doesn’t matter about Covid, doesn’t matter about the war in Ukraine, doesn’t matter about the world wide economy. It’s just “we are worse off” and then it just takes the opposition to promise “we will make that you are better off” to move votes.

      I don’t really see what can happen that makes such a big impact that the government recoup their poll losses.

      Cannabis is the only issue where the three parties are kinda on the same foot, otherwise we have a lot of conflicts, especially between Greens and FDP, which damages both parties. And the SPD is … kinda there, a charismatic blackhole like usually.

        FDP is doing FDP things as usual. Trying to funnel more money into their audiences pockets. Greens matured a lot in the last decades. I’m not sure if enough, but they changed a lot. The SPD … as bad as it sounds, but the last really charismatic leader was Gas Gerhard. And he was/is a cunt. I don’t want to talk about Bruno the Union. With Mutti they lost a whole lot more than just a leader.

          For what it’s worth, Mutti was really soft and moderate for her party. Years of just her had many forget what kind of beasts she was holding at bay within her party.

            True. Sometimes you were able to see it trying to get past her, but she was quick to smack it with a rolled up paper.

          The SPD killed Rosa, I’m not surprised they’re ineffective, they never really understood socialism anyway.

        Amazing protest to throw your votes to literal nazis and conservatives who’d rather help the literal nazis to gain power than accept that time changes thingts.
