As a fellow gamer said: "Y'all may kick and scream, you're still the minority. Cope, loser."

Seriously, what are you doing here, blaming? Deal with what a large portion of people voted for. Look forward, find solutions, act.

The left-leaning parties disappointed me with their posters this election. There was 1 that said "Set a mark against fascists" and showed an anti-afd protest, and another with a similar message.

I know they are the nazi party, I want to know what YOU stand for. I'll have to guess political scientist found out nobody really changes their mind from a poster, so the only thing they do is remind people of their party that they need to go out and vote.

If that's the case, the poster may be better than I give it credit for. Still, doesn't seem to have worked.

Tbh the cdu had a poster that said "1 reason to vote for us: traffic lights coalition"

It's fascinating that the DDR has elected nazis, because over here in Czechia, which was essentially a non-German DDR, the election was won in half by our CDU and in half by our careerist populist party (but not a nazi). It seems to be a specifically East German thing...

Has to do with how people in the east are basically being dragged behind by the west. They are getting paid less, but have to pay the same amount as westerners for electricity, gas, water, internet, and everything else except for rent and sometimes food.

A lot of the folks I talk to remember how the "west" turned the previously state owned railway company into a private company which caused almost ~75% of the at that point running rail network to be shut down for profit reasons.

People are upset, nothing is being done, they are being fed propaganda, and the results can be seen as clear as day

How will the far right help with any of that? They’re not known for running public utilities.

One would think that if that’s your problem you’d vote further left - renationalise public utilities etc.

The propaganda is sadly very effective

@Servais *sigh* will that Gorbachew guy ever tear down that wall?

Tearing down that wall was a mistake. Should have made it at least 5m taller instead.
