U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders urged Europeans on Saturday to “stand tall against right-wing extremism” after the American vice president scolded the continent’s leaders for not accommodating parties like the neo-Nazi Alternative for Germany, which appears poised for a strong performance in the approaching general election.
The worst part about the German election isn’t even the neo-Nazi party, but that the big conservative party repeats most of their talking points.
But they aren’t nazis, so it’s okay??? or something idk
Exactly! I’m not even convinced that they won’t enter a coalition with the nazis, or do a minority government that’s supported by the nazis. They keep repeating that they won’t do it, but it’s hard to believe considering the rest of their rhetoric. Either way, we’re definitely getting a very xenophobic and authoritarian government even if it’s another “große Koalition”, since the social democrats have been shifting further right lately, too.
