Someone posted a piece yesterday that the german millionaires were busy moving their money to switzerland with the upcoming elections looming. Hedging their bets?

Merkel was an insane open-borders globalist...
Apparently the leftists in Germany are even worse.

Poor Germany. Once again, per those quotes from young people (usually exhibiting their emotions or lack of critical thinking capabilities everywhere in the world)showing they don’t know what freedom really means. You’d think after voting a former East German Commie (Merkel)in,and repeating the error over and over again they’d learn. For being such an intelligent people, when they make mistakes politically, historically they continue to be huge and tragic.

Holy moley. How far off the left end is the rest of Germans? The squad would probably be ministers in a center left German government.

Merkel did nothing for Germany and over time Germans will see it. She is the “George Bush of Germany”.

I never knew it is called the CHRISTIAN Democratic Union.
Shocking. A major party allowed to have that name?
