German political drama continues: Merkel demands a reelection
1 2020-02-06 by RedditorsFartToo
From yesterday. Merkel says the results are inexcusable and that the election should be annulled.
But there is more: demands for the end of the grand coalition are coming in.

Gay porn is a genre that cuts across all demographics and the stigma that you have to be gay to enjoy it needs to come to an end right now.

What exactly is 'inexcusable' here?
1 newcomer_ts 2020-02-06
Free election.
1 RedditorsFartToo 2020-02-06
Free elections are alright as long as I like the results.
1 FChoL 2020-02-06
To summarize, until the last election in Thuringia the leftoid, Green (Greta) and Social Democrat (centrist/leftoid/neolib/neocon/retard) Parties had a "Red Red Green" Majority, but now the liberal democrats (FDP) and rightoid (AfD) parties gained enough seats that no sensible coalition can be built, because nobody wants to work with the AfD and everyone else lacks seats.
That is until the CDU and FDP somehow elected a Minister-president by using votes from the AfD, which is the second strongest party there.
You have to remember it is Germoney though and the head of Thuringia AfD kinda called for some sort of civil war to weed out "the weak" and gives Richard Spencer a run for his money on how much of a rightoid you can be, so it is verboten to ever associate or work with them politically.
tl;dr Some guy channelled white power to become minister-president even though everyone agreed not to do that again.

So does Merkel have that power or is she just blowing smoke?
1 RedditorsFartToo 2020-02-06
just blowing smoke.
1 Erotism 2020-02-06
Merkel: NOOOOO YOU CAN'T ELECT SOMEONE THAT WE DON'T LIKE THAT'S LITERALLY NAZISM, WE NEED REELECTIONS NOW.
1 Ubertroon 2020-02-06
Because as we all know, there's nothing nazis hate more than rapid fire emergency elections caused by the establishment failing to form stable coalitions
1 edg1827 2020-02-06
Parliaments sound fucking awful. A party forms a mandate, and then basically has supreme power until the next election. If they don't have a majority, they make an agreement with another party to wield supreme power with. Is there any point at all to minority parties?
1 Ubertroon 2020-02-06
Well minority parties might gain more influence than they have votes. For example in your example one party cooperates with another to gain majority, that means the lesser party gains a big influence by becoming a government partner.
1 improper33 2020-02-06
Germany has this weird thing where they assign the label “democratic” to the established parties and “democracy” therefore becomes your duty to vote for these parties. So then you get this situation where they unironically call fair elections “the death of democracy” and it only makes sense if this doublethink is hammered into your brain for years every day.
1 ilikecutenicestuff 2020-02-06
That's because you have to pretend that Nazism wasn't democratic in order to legitimize the current regime.

1 Bummunism 2020-02-06
Do they teach you that Germans voted in Hitler? Lmao
1 HisPopeness 2020-02-06
Hopefully. That's what happened
1 ilikecutenicestuff 2020-02-06
It's undeniable that Hitler's regime was immensely popular with the vast majority of Germans. Even if the elections after his takeover were a scam, but if you define democracy as "rule by the people" or "by the majority" it certainly was the most democratic regime Germany has ever had.
1 duckraul2 2020-02-06
That's only true if you strip out the inherent electoral or direct representative beholden to an electoral process part of democracy and change it to mean 'regime is popular with the masses'. But then you could class a popular monarchy as 'democratic', and words have lost all meaning.
1 y________tho 2020-02-06
Well at least Germany's being consistent then.

They held 33% of the seats of parliament before democracy was suspended in Germany. Even with the coalition, that leaves about half--if you're being extremely generous. The coalition wasn't at all friendly, Hitler didn't have true power here. He came to power by political ploys and terrorism by his gang of thugs.
1 Minimum_T-Giraff 2020-02-06
Nah the collation was very willingly gave Hitler power. They hated commies more than Hitler and the country already ran from dictatorial style even before Hitler
Governments before Hitler relied heavily on dictatorial powers of the President.
3 big_papa_stiffy 2020-02-06
everyone does in the end
1 ilikecutenicestuff 2020-02-06
Yes, they became vastly and extemely popular a few years later, not right away.
1 Bummunism 2020-02-06
I don't care if lines of Germans lined up to suck Hitler's cock once he was fuhrer, this was about whether they made him fuhrer in the first place.
1 ilikecutenicestuff 2020-02-06
Nah, I just said whether the regime was democratic and it was extremely well supported. I wasn't referring to the election on purpose because I know he didn't win a landslide at first.
1 wm20123 2020-02-06
Yeah, his party was a Socialist party. Of course it involved murder and not free will. Is any of this surprising?

Only voting for the established parties and having a meltdown about the state of democracy any time you don't win sounds a lot like the US tbh
1 BigFatGamerNuts 2020-02-06
Only hardcore retarded partisans even care about politics in the first place. And the internet in general leads you to believe there are more than there really are
1 diggity_md 2020-02-06
Seriously what basis does she have for delegitimizing the result of a free, fair, and constitutional parliamentary vote?
Isn't this an example of the system working and moderating the voice of an extremist party? I doubt anyone in AfD came in wanting a classical liberal as the head of anything, much less a state government. The FDP isn't even a eurosceptic party, they're explicitly pro EU. Merkel literally has no reason to dislike the ultimate outcome here.
But of course, because nazreeeeees are involved, Merkel Mommy had to shit her pants and make the guy step down. Gee I sure hope that doesn't piss off the voters or the local CDU organizations, seeing their national leader blunder in, toss their votes out, and destroy a perfectly good compromise. Peak brain worms at work here.
1 ilikecutenicestuff 2020-02-06
They can't govern without their help in the first place. It creates precedent to include Nazis in the normal political process and cooperate with them. Slow acceptance and cooperation is how it worked last time as well. This isn't a joke.
1 diggity_md 2020-02-06
Also how it worked under Adenauer in a sense, but I guess the only reasonable reaction is to scream "FASCHISMUS" and override muh democratic norms and values

1 howmodareyou 2020-02-06
Our (german) political drama isn't as funny tho, because we don't have rampant dementia and sex scandals. Its usually either insane lobbying, white-collar crimes and nerdy obsession with brown people.
4 CountChadvonCisberg 2020-02-06
Imagine my shock
1 RedditorsFartToo 2020-02-06
Wrong. They could govern without the AfD but the other parties have to play along, too.
1 ilikecutenicestuff 2020-02-06
Well no. They needed either the left party or the AfD to pass legislation, since all the other parties together lack majority.
2 simplicity3000 2020-02-06
oh no! they would have to find compromises that are acceptable to both the left and the right? clearly that wouldn't be democracy
1 ilikecutenicestuff 2020-02-06
They won't cooperate with the left party and they won't cooperate with them, they knew this from the start, hence they must have planned to cooperate with the fascists around Höcke from the start, and yes, this is a problem.
No I'm not saying the AfD itself is fascist as a whole but the Thuringian AfD is
1 simplicity3000 2020-02-06
sounds like those left wing parties are less democratic than the AfD.
Höcke is pretty extreme though
1 RedditorsFartToo 2020-02-06
But the left party doesn't have a majority as well. So the left has to build a querfront to govern?
1 ilikecutenicestuff 2020-02-06
They were willing to cooperate with the CDU
1 RedditorsFartToo 2020-02-06
I am sure the CDU would have cooperated with "Die Linke" under a FDP minister president.

Wenn Höcke sagen würde, dass seine Partei eine Entscheidung zurücknehmen soll, von der er der Überzeugung ist, dass sie gegen Grundsätze seiner eigenen Partei verstößt, würde das wohl kaum jemanden wundern.

I do. That's just me though.
German elections are quite important because Germany is the heart of the EU. If it sneezes the orbiting countries feel a storm. AfD winning these numbers is a signal to other right parties in the EU that they can push a little more and get what they want.
1 gscheit 2020-02-06

I don't follow Kraut politics closely, all I know is that AfD constantly gets called fascist and far-right. Unfortunately for people who actually care about reality, the left has cried nazi-wolf so much that I actually have no idea if AfD is actually fascist or if they're just moderately right-wing.
Someone give the lowdown. Are they actually bad or is the left just crying wolf and moralfagging again?
1 RedditorsFartToo 2020-02-06
There are moderates in the AfD but some are not and one of them is the head of the AfD in Thuringia (Höcke). He can be called a fascist because this statement 'rests on verifiable facts' and he is also accused of writing for far-right and neo-nazi magazines under the pseudonym "Landolf Ladig".
