Germans, please go to vote!

I'm not german, but I do love a good malty pretzel. So chewy. So doughy.
-
I recommend HAKON's classic Youtube Video "How to tie your shoes without accidentally voting AfD"
-
I'm not sharing many values with CDU but Germany would be well advised to have one democratic party which is distinctively stronger than AFD. And at the moment it seems that CDU is the only democratic party which can keep the country in one piece. I would very much prefer to have a strong CDU than a strong AFD and many mediocre democratic parties.

It's a secret! We won't tell you.
-
Always vote folks!
-
I would, but it's 16 hours early.
Do I have any hope for a progressive government? Do I have hope that anyone but Merz becomes chancellor?
No, too many old men in this country for that.
But damn it, I have 1 vote to cast and cast it I will give it 100% to a party I tolerate. Not voting is voting for the end result, and the AFD doesn't deserve 1% of my vote, let alone what percentage they end up at.
-
The CDU is already voting together with the AfD in several parliaments including the national one, I really don't think the CDU is going to help us out of this mess. They want exactly the same things as the AfD, they're just slightly less crass about it.
-
Warning: Bad design, but instead of arguing over the top part, which definitely has some considerations that make it a bit more complicated, my main concern is the bottom part.
-
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
