That is not true - they are not currently the second strongest.

there are some polls where this party is seen as a strong contender for future elections.

no, not currently. I worded that wrong. They’re gonna be the second strongest party according to polls and general vibe of the country rn. The fascists are coming back, and they’re coming back strong. Attacks against jewish and queer people have risen rapidly. Fuck, even i’ve been the victim of a fascist attack.

That’s not very accurate, the current chancellor and Germany in general are very left-leaning outside the very catholic regions.

The chancellor’s party is center-left in the typical European social democrat way, he himself is more of a moderate. But the current coalition polls at around 40%, so calling Germany very left-leaning is a very optimistic statement.

Elon’s an attention-seeking cretin that will say or do anything to remain relevant. This is equal parts dangerous and desperate

The problem is that he’s rich enough to have bought an entire social network to express himself and has the ability to influence a lot of very important situations.

I’ll be genuinely surprised if we ever get to see another news title about Elon that isn’t “Elon does/says some unimaginably stupid/shitty thing”.
