Merz plans to set a 24-hour deadline for Russia, pushing for Taurus missile delivery to Ukraine to enhance its military capabilities against aggression.
Tue be completely honest that would be more like the AfD. But Merz recently cried about how the “Brandmauer” to them was forced upon them by the media and he or his party never used the term.
Which was a lie of course, his then general secretary used it first in like 2021 and shortly after he used it as well. It’s just that it was more popular at the time to deny any plan with working with them. And those fucks sure didn’t get less shitty over time.
He also said the other day he’d do deals with Trump. Whatever those are supposed to be.
Edit: Forgot the conclusion: Not quite literally a facist like the shit smelling convict, but not all that much better either.
Well, certainly not thrilled about the prospect of Merz, then. Hopefully this position ends up shared amongst the other candidates, though.

tbf, everyone is saying that, in part because “One of the biggest nations in the world just elected a moron we can’t work with” is considered undiplomatic, whereas “we’ll do deals” gives the illusion of hope and an out if Trump demands something ridiculous (as he inevitably will).
That’s actually my reasoning voting for him…Kleineres Übel…and let’s be honest, Scholz never was Chancellor material, Habeck still needs more time and I don’t think he’s got enough support from the greens “realoflügel” to have his back and on top of that, the greens do not have enough support to “make” Chancellor. I hate Merz’ s guts, but unless the SPD finds a different candidate (Pistorius, anyone…? I’d vote in a heartbeat for him and I despise the SPD)…Merz is it, even with the risk of an Afd involvement.
So if he sells his mother for Taurus in Ukraine and punish Putins utter madness once and for all…so be it.
Your fine with private messages not being private anymore, social securities being cut (including ukrainian refugees) and the police getting closer to US style?
Habeck is a realo, not fundie. Support for him among green voters (which is what actually counts, not party members, he’ll get his nomination because who else should they run) is overwhelming, very good among SPD voters, AfD voters hate him and that won’t change any time soon, CDU is where he’s going to have to make inroads. Perception-wise the problem is competence, blame that on the Bild campaign and I absolutely expect that to shift very quickly once people actually hear him in a debate.
Hell, I’m in support of Merz selling his own mother if it means more support for Ukraine.
… I may be in a dark place right now.
Oh, now voting for Trump (and nothing else would voting for Merz be) is fine?
Hypocrite.
Is Merz really Trump-level bad? I know only the basics of German politics (what each party roughly is)

All this talk about human trafficking, smh. Sad.
What about we sell his mother for a commission?

No, I’m not, but the security of Europe is more important than social issues. Apart from that…the Greens have betrayed themselves. https://netzpolitik.org/2024/foto-nachruf-auf-gruene-und-fdp-sie-waren-buergerrechtsparteien/

I listened to Habecks musings quite often and I pray he’s not going to be Chancellor.
