Gruss Dich
*Grüß 😛
Lol
hey, we Germans are grammar and spelling nazis, so me correcting you was just me being me, being German
All good
I haven't had the keyboard enabled in a while so I just anglicize it all
ah, understand that. I'd have a text file with the umlauts and the ß somewhere, though
We actually have codes for it, I just cannot for the life of me remember them all
Germans: Thoughts on AFD? Do you think they can win the next election, or at least become a coalition partner?
yeah, I know there are codes, but fuck those codes. no one remembers them.
I am ironing out my cases as we speak, ich leibe deutsch
for real
as it stands right now, AFD might be lucky to actually make it into parliament. And they will definitely not be a coalition member.
((FACTS))
Just curious as to your take on things.
oh indeed, I am a floridian but I try to take it all in as often as possible

Also, Frauke Petry totally looks like Curie from Fallout 4.
no one wants to form a coalition with them. and they don't want to be a part of the government, either.
there are similarities between Frauke Petry and Curie, definitely
Alternative für Boston
I had a few conversations with Petry at different party conventions. But I'm more a Bernd Lucke guy. 😉
"It's the economy, stupid"
I'm afraid I don't know too much about Lucke. What's his platform?
He was a founder of the AFD but left in 2015 after losing to Petry

the party took a drift farther to the right - that's why I left and joined the Free Democratic Party, where I am definitely among the right-wingers
Do you feel like Germany has a bit too much of a power position within the EU at the moment?
I only really get american and eurosceptic sources
not just a bit. way too much. we are more or less the only nation within Europe where a substantial part of the population is dreaming of the "United States of Europe".
Damn
How do you think Germany could un-Merkel itself, and return to a more nationalist platform. (And by nationalist I don't mean Neo-Nazi, of course)
((Imperial Second Reich))
but with the UK leaving and other countries forming alliances (Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland), I feel the EU will fall and other alliances will be formed.
I honestly feel blocks such as that would be more beneficial
I am just of the point of view that a nation should care for its citizens, and put them first, and it seems to me that Merkel and others like her keep putting the native population second.
At this point, Germany can't un-Merkel itself. She must go. And her opponent at the upcoming election in September, Martin Schulz, is even more on the left than her.
Fuck
and there are just two realistic outcomes this september: Merkel staying in power or Schulz becoming new chancellor of a socialdemocrat-green-socialist coalition
I've always wanted to make the journey over but I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut about a lot of things
