Welp, with this a victory for her party is pretty much set in stone at this point (9. 24. 2017). Are you guys ready for 4 more years of Merkel? At this rate she easily outlives Trump even if he wins a second term. Also lol @ "I'm not sure what the G20 summit is actually supposed to achieve." 46% said yes. Also generally Germans favor raising taxes on people with a higher income, 68% favour this. 3% want them lowered, lol: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/deutschlandtrend/

I thought Germany was a refugee hellhole. Or is it all refugees responding to the surveys?

Well, tbf Refugees / Immigration / Asylum politics is seen as the major politicial problem that are the most urgent to be solved: 44% in July 2017 compared to 5% in Semptember 2013. But the general public trusts Merkel and her government with that as seen by her approval ratings and the polls.

Trumpsters insisted for a year that Merkel was historically unpopular. Her ratings took a dip from August 2015 to August 2016:  But still where between 40-50% Her average approval from 2013-2017 is interestingly higher than that from 2009-2013. So historically unpopular is wrong.

Regarding those who do call him that: Could it be true, though, that (as we just mentioned) there are other factors that lead to them labeling him as such? Like lacking proper division of powers/checks and balances? Corrupt behavior? Controlling education and information? I honestly don't know all of that. I'm just pointing out that if he has engaged in that behavior or facilitated those breakdowns of a free democracy, that could be why.

Yes, the overwhelming factors are that Chavez is a leftist politician who nationalized the oil industry and appropriated property of US corporations, expanded social services to the poor, and publicly challenges US imperialism in Latin America. While Merkel is a centre-right politician who supports global capitalism and the US military presence in Europe. |

The ambiguity of 'problematic' should be seen as... problematic. Right now the thing drawing their ire most is perceived racism, so you're perfectly fine seeing people give up their freedom of speech and perhaps are yourself willing to do the same. But let's not forget that any election can put the wrong people in power (like the most recent one), and administrations like that should absolutely not get to decide what speech people are allowed and not allowed to have. BTW, does it really not bother you that you're on the side against freedom of speech? Like, did you read 1984 and conclude that authoritarianism was a good idea?

'If people did this in Egypt they would be shot,' said Ibrahim Ali, a 29-year-old Egyptian who came here in 2011. 'The state provides everything: housing, unemployment benefits and education. Yet those people are not happy. I don't get it.'

Germany's interior minister described the rioting as 'the opposite of democratic protest'.
...
Thomas de Maiziere said: 'These were unbounded violent excesses out of a desire for destruction and brutality.'
He added that 'completely uninhibited attacks against people and objects, looting and arson by anarchists from Germany and Europe, have nothing to do with political motives or protest'.
Police say riots were extremely violent in the early hours of this morning in the city's Schanzenviertel neighborhood.
The fires burned across the city as the world leaders attending the G20 conference spent the evening listening to Beethoven's 9th Symphony and dining in style.Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp 'Once Upon A Time in Mexico'(edited 4 hours ago)KamenRiderBlade posted...CherryTsundere posted...

Do you think that level of violent protest is acceptable?

They're grown adults; they should know better.Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp 'Once Upon A Time in Mexico'Members of the anarchist Black Bloc group - which wants to overthrow capitalism - split throughout the city, setting alight cars and looting shops while groups fight riot police.

I'm always amused by the people who think Christianity should have no place in government cheering on Merkel, whose party runs on creating a Christian government.
Well, that's true, but their party is based on christian values, not the christian faith or the church.
Huge difference.
They were against gay marriage until just recently. Is that really a huge difference?
I think there's a bit of a double standard when it comes to religion in politics when it comes to Europeans from an American standpoint. Like American liberals will look the other way when European politicians do/say socially conservative stuff.I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister.Sativa_Rose posted...KA1N3R posted...

They still were, only 26.9% of the CDU voted for Same-Sex marriage. Meanwhile 100% of the SPD, The Left and The Greens voted in favour for it.
Merkel voted against it, two former Family Ministers interestingly voted for it.Behold my beauty!(edited 3 hours ago)
