    Why is Germany included in this? The fucking brown shit nazis of the AfD had huge gains this election and became second strongest party in the country.

    I feel like going around and smacking everyone who was too lazy or to uninterested to drag their ass to a voting booth and stand up against this ongoing shift to the right.

    Seriously, Germany makes it super easy to vote. You are automatically registered, get an invitation in the mail, get mail ballots with 2 clicks on your cities website and there is literally a polling station for everyone in walking distance and no wait time. THERE IS NO EXCUSE!!

    Lots of criticism for Macron calling snap elections, but I actually think that’s the right move. He needs to break through the cynicism and get people to recognize the threat they really face. Waiting won’t help; it just breeds complacency.
