Germans, please go to vote!
-
That's not voter suppression, it's a risk you take when moving outside of Germany. The German state can't guarantee that you can easily vote if you move outside of its jurisdiction.
-
Yeah, and all that actually does is strengthen the AfD by making their talking points socially acceptable.
-
Me and most of my friends will vote left or green, we'll try our best!
-
It affects all kinds of people depending on mail in vote this time including some that live in Germany. The federal voting commission has even explicitly warned about it.
As there is a strong correlation between mail in votes and progressive voters, and it was the CDU that enforced this faster than actually possible election, it is a classic case of voter supression.
And that is only the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of other subtile ways in how the German government suppresses votes from people that are not living in the same small German village the last 20 years or so.
-
People who live abroad permanently shouldn't be able to vote anyways. Also Dual Citizenship shouldn't be allowed
-
including some that live in Germany.
No, the ballots were sent out on February 6th. That's plenty of time
-
Yes, it does. You are right. But this doesn't change my initial statement.
-
Talk about being priviledged without actively saying so
-
Go explain me the privilege. I don't see it
-
You coudn't even get the documents to vote in time as the government surely doesn't use DHL Express, and DHL Express also doesn't cover a lot of places.
But anyways, I have the feeling that it is pointless to discuss with someone that is openly suggesting anti-constitutional and borderline racist things here.
-
Voting CDU is just not that different to voting AfD, that's the point.
-
I was arguing to non-voters who adopted a "my single vote doesn't matter" perspective. A single vote in a country is never a few percent.
If people already know and trust that their vote can add up with others to a few percent here or there, they would already go and vote in our system I feel.

What is Borderline Racist about my comments?
I don't think people should vote, who don't have to face the consequences of their vote.
It's the same things with Turkiye which citizens don't want Erdogan, but most Turkish Citizens living abroad vote for him. In Hungary and other autocracies it's the same thing.
I want a fast path to citizenship for people who want to live permanently here, or EU Citizens who moved to another state.
But if you take up a citizenship of another state you should loose the German one, unless you have a good point and apply for an exception. That's how it was a few years ago, and there is nothing unconstitutional about it
-
That is typically the case with priviledge
-
well, except if someone votes for a party that gets less than 5%. it's a bit similar with the US elections, when democrats would have won, if ppl didn't vote 3rd party for unrealistic reasons.
-
How can you take a stand on fascism when you vote with the fascist party and copy their xenophobic and anti-"woke" rhetoric?
-
On topic YouTube video by a rather popular German Comedian:
-
So you can't explain the "privilege"
-
German citizen are german citizen. There are no second class German citizen. Suggesting otherwise is clearly unconstitutional and about on the same level as AfD "remigration" plans, especially when you explicitly mention holders of two passports that typically tend to have an immigration background.
-
Unless you were planning to vote for afd. Then you should kys.
