I'd rather have wildly optimistic, slightly delusional politicians who suck at math but have solid moral basics than a super-conservative, bigoted government whose moral compass is based upon the deranged ideology of the Catholic church.
im pretty much still not too sure who to vote for, spd grüne or linke, but after today i kinda leen more towards linke
i was kinda surprised both spd and grüne hating die linke so much today since i feel like they could very well need them unless they got a secret plan with cdu (which obviously makes me not vote for them)

I think it's mostly the part of the Linke that's former SED. If you look around in this thread, there was this post that should show you how this can be a pretty emotional topic for people. I mean that story about someone's relative disappearing into a Stasi prison and never coming home again... just being reported as deceased to his family.
Greens are involved in this as they are a fusion of West Germany's Greens and East Germany's liberals that were struggling for freedom.
SPD have connections to the Linke because of that camp around Lafontaine.

nah it's because of the average TV Total viewer that's why you get these results. Granma from backwoods village numer 12432958 is not watching that show and wont call either, but she'll go vote for the CHRISTIAN party because her priest told her to

I dont have any indicators because I usually dont believe in pre-election surveys. The election starts in 1 Hour and 20 minutes and I say when the first countings begin we can have the race ;D
Its probably going to be Merkel(CDU) though ... damn
Edit: found this: pretty cute and neat for non-germans :D
edit 2: i should stop surfing on YT... cant stop laughing...
Lol, just voted. The woman that checked my Paper and ID said
"lets see if this one got the right stand." me: "10402" "uh huh. Yeah you are right." *assistant hands me the Voting Bill with the shiniest smile ever*
Who the hell goes to the wrong Voting Stand? °_° This felt weird...

What? no.
The way she said it was just rude and very weird. On the other hand the assistant was totally happy to see me ;D
Being rude early in the morning is almost a criminal offense ;D
btw, did the Party AfD seriously suggest that People that live in poor circumstances and fear for their very existence should be able to sell their organs in a regulated environment? Am I the only one that is at least a bit disgusted by that?

Just been voting. It was so fucking empty lol. I mean yes it is sunday morning, but literally there were like 2 people in the building (who were voting and not vote helpers) and like 3 people coming towards the building for voting when I was leaving.
on the Bavarian test-run last Sunday, the sample size of 3 (my parents and me in different election offices) all saw queues a lot longer than at previous elections

Fucking tragedy.
How can you not go voting T_T So stupid.
Gosh, you got up early for this *yawn* it's not even 10am over here. Probably most people are still sitting in the curch, having relaxed breakfast or recovering from hangover. Or some just got up because they were watching eSports all night ;-)
Anyway I'll stay at home today, far too rainy for my taste.

I just came back from voting. There was NO ONE else in the building. I didnt see anyone leave while I was coming and nobody entered while I was leaving. And the place was for two districts!
Remember that about 25% of all those eligible to vote are expected to prefer postal voting. (Can anybody enlighten me if this is a big thing in other countries aswell?) But in the end I guess you'll be right and too many people stay at home.
I think one reason for this is that people on the streets were doing a horrible job at speaking to people. While going to our farmer's market yesterday I wanted to talk to a few parties to see if I could get anything out of it for a blog. I know that I'm looking pretty young but apart from the pirates nobody tried to talk to me. In the end I was so frustrated I went to a guy from the CDU and asked why they don't talk to people. We had an interesting conversation afterwards but you have to go there by yourself and ask them to talk to you. Most will try to give you a flyer and are done with that sometimes they don't even know anything about their parties wishes and agenda.
It's an election campaign for those who will vote no matter what.
