The German state election for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is on September 4. That is chancellor Angela Merkel’s home base.
Polls show Merkel’s CDU party will not win the election. In fact, AfD is running neck-and neck with CDU in the battle for second place.
AfD is an anti-immigration, eurosceptic political party.
In five days we find out if CDU comes in third place to AfD.

We can let things collapse and in he pressure and chaos not get actual solutions to our problems, or deal with them terminatedly before hand with Wise, gracious and ethical policies. But that takes people dropping orthodoxies and agendas and rising to actual Wisdom and actual solutions via integrating the best, most true, most workable and most ethical combinations of opposing theories.
The wise, gracious, and ethical thing to do is stop the immigration. Voluntarily destroying one’s society is sick. We need to start cutting ties with Europe. They are going down.
Immigration is an effect of economic austerity and it’s consequent imperial foreign policy. It is an effect, not a cause and while I completely agree that high volumes of immigration are not a good thing being reactionary about it is the complete opposite of wisdom and graciousness seeings how the essence of grace is granting beingness to others, i.e. tolerance.
How many Syrian refugees have you taken in to your home to live?
Do you remember the chant at the beginning of the Primary race here, and how it was pushed that it is time for a woman to be President? You don’t hear the woman push anymore and it’s probably due to Merkel. I hope the force of the German People are stronger than the perpetrators of election fraud.
“Possible 3rd Place for CDU”
Surprising they would be even that high.
Well, here’s the German’s opportunity to change things without resorting to a full-blown revolution. I’ve always considered the German people a smart people. I’ve had more respect for them than most. The vote on Sept 04 will reveal whether I’m correct or whether I overestimated the German’s ability to act in their own best interests. I’ll think optimistically. I’ll stick my neck out and say the Das Deutsche Volk will demonstrate their intelligence on Sept 04. Don’t let me down.
LFOld, I think you are wrong to think optimistically. The majority of Germans drank the cool-aid, in my observations. The biggest fools are the Swedes. They really seem to condone sexual assault. A society that condones sexual assault is perverse.
I have to be optimistic about something. I don’t want to go to an early grave.
Perhaps this time I’m thinking with my heart instead of my brain. Granted, you may win this one. In fact, the odds may be in your favor. But I will give the German people one last chance. If I lose I will move to your side of the aisle.
Remind me where we stand on Sept 05.
