except when they’ve already done…
Won’t you? Do something to prove it, like definitively stating that rain or shine you will form a coalition government with the SPD and Greens even if the only policy you can agree on is “FUCK NAZIS”
Only a sith deals in absolutes. And to be fair, he would make for a pretty good sith now that I think about it…
Yeah until they lose and AFD becomes the biggest party. Look at the Netherlands. Also this boycot is not going to do anything. Look at the Netherlands.
That’s what our Nehammer said too. He meant it too, gotta give him that. However he played haughty with the other parties which left him without any coalition options, and then his conservative party removed him from the top. Now they’re being humiliated in the negotiations with the far-right and they’re giving everything they wouldn’t give the social democrats. And then some.
This is what can happen in Germany too if Merz plays stupid games.
They just did. Twice. This old fart is going full Trump and trying to gaslight everyone.
Lies
They already have, and he even stated in an interview that he would do it again. The CDU has drifted so far from the center-right that some of its politicians today would probably call Helmut Kohl ‘woke’. The idea that you can dismantle the far right by becoming the far right is a guaranteed way to lose. It hasn’t worked in any other country—whether in Italy, the Netherlands, or France. You have to take a firm stand against the far-right plague. People who vote for these parties are not suddenly going to be swayed by the center, no matter how far right it shifts. The only effective strategy is to oppose them decisively.
Even worse, Merz’s plans for border controls will directly impact Schengen, likely setting a precedent for every other euroskeptic country. And he’s doing this while campaigning on a platform to STRENGTHEN the EU. Merz operates purely on impulse—it’s completely reckless. This man should never become chancellor, but unfortunately, he’s leading in the polls big time.
CDU – AFD coalition incoming in a month, after he decided to not make any compromise (again) and acts as if it’s the other party’s fault.
