Hey, and here I thought that #blackrock sucker would bow before #Trump. He might not have a spine, but maybe at least ambition? I might end up only half disappointed he grabbed power.
The first exit polls for the German federal elections are in. They... suck, but they could have been even worse:
CDU - CSU - 29% AFD - 19.5% SPD - 16% Greens - 13.5% Die Linke - 8.5% FDP - 4.9% BSW - 4.7%
- As expected, the fascist #AfD has become the second biggest political party, but at least they haven't reached the 20% they had been polling in all the opinion polls so far.
- If the exist polls remain true, the #FDP has barely missed reaching the 5% threshold for re-entering parliament. Since their "accomplishments" in the last three years largely consisted in sabotaging the work of the coalition government they were a part of, and they have turned from being a party of personal liberty advocated to a party of crypto-fascists #ElonMusk fans, this is no great loss (sorry #Lindner , but Elon Musk wi

- The #BSW will also fail to enter parliament. Since they are basically Putin's stooges intended to channel votes away from leftist democratic parties, this is no great loss.
- After having been predicted to drop out of parliament due to the rise of the BSW, the #Linke has managed to pull of a stunning reversal and gained 8.5% of the vote. I may not agree with all of their position, but German politics desperately needs a party that stands for clear leftist policies - something that both the #SPD and the #Grünen have failed at in recent years.
It looks the most viable option will be a coalition led by the #CDU with the #SPD as a junior partner. We've already had those under #Merkel , and they were long years of stagnation - but a chancellor #Merz will have fewer principles than Merkel had, and far more cruelty. He is a #Blackrock creature through and through. And while he has made some noises that indicate that he largely recognizes Trump for what he is, I suspect that in the end he will do what the oligarchy wants of him.
Hopefully the oligarchy doesn't want him to form a coalition with the AfD, but we shall see... 😞
