  • If you ask the AfD-Fanboys, most are probably going to say that they are not racist, that there are just too many refugees in the country and the other parties aren't doing anything about it. The AfD, meanwhile, is blaming all og the problems on the "left parties" and illegal immigrants. But yes, in my opinion, if you vote for the AfD, you are racist to a degree at least.

  • nd their inability to fix the damage caused by the financial crisis of 2008

    That's absolutely not it. Germany went through the crisis of 2008 like a breeze. In 2015 during the refugee crisis, Merkel decided to open our borders to all of the refugees. Before that, the AfD had below 10% of the voters on their side. But a huge chunk of the population did not agree to Merkel's refugee policies. That's when the AfD took off. And now we can't get rif of them 😒

  • Unfortunately, that's not the only reason. We have 16 Bundesländer (states). 5 of them are in the East. But they have hardly more inhabitants than Bavaria. So a lot of us in the "Real Germany" (the western states) are voting those AHs too.

  • You have a voter turnout of about 60%. That's nothing. If all of your sexists and rapists were republicans, you'd have significantly less than 30% sexists and racists. But I strongly suspect that only a fraction of your republicans can be called blatant sexists and racists. Hint: The world isn't black and white and sexism and racism are systematic problems that can't be boiled down to left vs right.

  • Oh come on, put a sock in it. The US is not responsible for what Israel is doing in the middle east and even what Israel is doing should be open for interpretation. The world is not black and white. And don't try to convince me that the majority in the US cares even a little bit about what is happening in the middle east.

  • Is this wise? As an outside observer I had the impression that Harris lost in part because of systematic, subtle and overt racism and sexism. All this applies to AOC, too. Do the Democrats want to lose? Don't they have some sort of JFK look-alike, people actually want to vote? It's not as if appearance wasn't way more important in the US than things like the actual political agenda.

  • Fabric softener is great. Mix a bit with water and use it to clean your shower glass doors/walls. It removes limescale like a charm thanks to the anionic surfactants that are in there. And the Aldi store brand costs hardly anything.

  • I also never had a problem. Neither under windows nor under linux. The problem usually occurs within the printer. The more urgently you need to print a document, the more likely your printer is gonna jam. I suspect those things are so crappy in order to keep IT support companies afloat.

  • And dont listen to zealts who say its not a viable option.

    It is a viable option, especially for old hardware. I mainly don't use it because I want to install an OS exactly once: When the computer is brand new. This is exactly when some shit is not working properly on Linux. But if you have old hardware, it will run no problems. Just install Ubuntu and Libre Office on it, pray that you get the printer set up, done.

  • Obama is absolutely incredibly charismatic and a once-in-a-generation political mind.

    Charismatic, yes. I am not really happy with his politics, though. Under his presidency drone war seriously took up. Many a civilist was killed in Afghanistan. Germany was a willing helper. Relays for remote drone operation were operated on German soil. I am absolutely against the whole concept of this cowardly and indifferent way of disappearing people in foreign countries. And see, where this brought us! The Taliban regained traction and now they are ruling Afghanistan. The whole war wasn't won by drones, it was lost, at least partly, because of Obama's horrible drone warfare. I always wonder why he is not held responsible for 'Murica's 2nd Vietnam.

  • I am convinced 'Murica generally is too racist to vote a black person into office. Obama was only voted into office because he is an extremely charismatic and charming person. So much so that he was voted into office in spite of being black. Kamala is neither charismatic nor charming. Also, there is sexism and she's a woman.
