Germans, please go to vote!
-
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. -
Actually you have two votes
-
And don't forget to sign the paper with your full name
-
Unless I vote for a winning independent local candidate, then my first vote is annulled.
But this isn't about the exact mechanism of German elections. I say colloquially I have 1 vote to cast/2 crosses to set.
-
Your vote matters, the influence of AFD must be minimized.
-
Crossing my fingers and toes for Germany!
-
Please do vote, Germany. Learn from the US and reject this evil disease
-
American here, for the love of god vote!
-
I’d love to vote but my voting mail didn’t make it in time to me so my vote won’t count ….
-
You can vote early...
-
Other way around, if an independent wins then second votes are annulled. If a party candidate wins they're put on the top of the list of people from that party who'll get into parliament when percentages are turned into seats.

but had seen multiple times in modern times voter suppression has been a big deal
Voter Suppression isn't really a thing in Germany. You are automatically registered to vote, and absentee voting is also really easy. Fill out a form online, get the ballot per Mail and return it with a postage-already-paid envelope
-
That's exactly what I'll do tomorrow.
-
FCKAFD...
I'll do my job! 🫡

CDU isn't keeping the country in one piece. They're rhetorically dividing it through populism and lies.

There's no such thing as pretzel bread. There is such a thing as lye rolls and the key thing is bloody use NaOH. Not Na₂CO₃. Even less, NaHCO₃. You'll need 3-4% NaOH in aqueous solution. Yes, actual lye. Caustic soda. Sodium hydroxide. No way around it.
-
I doubt anyone on here would vote AFD
-
Sorry, but as someone who had their vote suppressed this time due to impossible short mail voting times (and this not being the first time) I have to sadly disagree. If you live abroad and not somewhere close to an German embassy, voting is usually not feasible without a lot of time and money involved.
-
That do be true.

The AfD will likely get about 20% (I haze it, but its the reality we live in), but what is also great is, that our leftist party will get about 8%. They won't be in the government, but they for sure will annoy the hell out of them. They will also pressure the more left leaning parties to not do everything our conservatives want to do. They also promised that they want to push to forwards to the so called "Mietendeckel" (rent lid) to end the raising of rent prices which means more stability for about 46% of people. I am optimistic, that they can do this. They have completely rearranged themselves and skyrocketed from about 2.5% a few months ago to now 8% in the polls. We didnt have so many members in the left party in 15 years. The left party has also been responsible for the crarion of the minimum wage in Germany without being part of the government.
Even tho that the government will be ass, I hope for our left party do actually change something. Even tho we aren't part of the government we already won this election.
