Although this thread does not function under the same strict guidelines as the USPMT, it is still a general practice on TL to provide a source with an explanation on why it is relevant and what purpose it adds to the discussion. Failure to do so will result in a mod action.

Expel them would be a decent solution, yes. Not without damage of course but stupid decisions in the past require painful responses in the present.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but don't you live outside of the country where you were born?

Well yes, but until you clarify that sounds like a gigantic strawman.
History will sooner or later sweep the European Union away without mercy.

Are you trying to imply that once you're an immigrant, you have to support all immigrants? I don't think that's how it works. Immigration should be based on skills not at random.

What's your stance on German bankers causing the trouble of 2008 that has caused 1000-times the cost of taking in refugees. Gulag? Gas chamber? Obviously you can't throw Germans out of Germany.

E: of course preliminary

Sending refugees from war zones back to camps in Turkey where they have no future while Europe's population continues to dwindle is surely what we need.

Mostly hyperbole to try to distract from the fact that removing refugees not given a path to citizenship is nothing like any of those.

Yes, if they already have citizenship they can't be thrown out. But those with significantly less legal authority for existing in the country, not sure you can really call them Germans.

Insert any country you want. It was a mass phenomenom in the financial sector. People buy stupid things because others buy stupid things, pyramid scheme implodes, nobody believes they are responsible because "everyone did it". People believe too much in trends and regression algorithms as it is the only way too handly big data fast. Incomplete information and mass behavior --> reason why people who believe in market forces are idiots.
Back to the question: How does someone like LL deal with people who cause actual problems.

AfD also got 430k from Die Linke, which is way more to the left than the SPD

You're correct in your understanding.

Somewhere in the statistic they lost/mingled the previous nonvoters.
And from the supposed far left (die linke) they gained nearly as much as well. Those I, personally, attribute to Eastern German voters who are against the system and/our afraid of foreign domination albeit having seen noon bio Germans only on TV.
But that's just my prejudice and one year living in Leipzig talking

She touched on it, but the general tone also in the round-table discussion was to not give in to AfD rhetoric. Overall it was largely a no to more populism.

To categorically deny another grand coalition though, and Schulz really attacked her hard, did hit her unprepaired. She looked genuinely shocked. I don't think the CDU was informed at all and she thought she could continue to govern on like this for another four years.

It's funny, SPD says they are going to go into opposition: Neoliberals and Conservatives call them undemocratic in every comment, saying everyone has to talk to everyone.
AfD says they are going to go into opposition: Neoliberals and Conservatives (and of course also not the mainstream media that is heavily supporting anything on the right) who have like a 90% political overlap with them don't even mention that there are possible coalitions with them.

Right-winged, a special kind of being mentally-challenged.

Edit: Ah yeah, obviously CDU and FDP also won't talk to the The Left. But hey, everything is democratic if you are a right-wing oligarch-controlled idiot choosing who to speak with, but noone else must have a different opinion!

There were elections today too in France, in the Senate, to renew half its members (171/348). Macron lost them hard. The right retained its majority in the Senate, winning ~30 senators. Macron had 29 senators so far (already elected people who switched to his party...), seems he will have less after this election (~22-23). At any rate, he won't have the necessary 3/5 majority to change the Constitution with his people alone. And to say that a few months ago, some people from EM were dreaming of winning the Senate too...

The voting system is indirect (thus pretty much no one in the population cares about sénatoriales...) and is detrimental to new parties which don't have local representatives yet (EM, FI). But mostly, the austerity measures for local collectivities angered the elected representatives (they are the ones who vote for senators).

Mélenchon's movement did not participate (didn't want to make alliances with other left-wing parties, which are basically forced if you want to get senators).

The FN got no senator.

Social-democrats now have ~70 senators, down from 86 previously.

The communists still have a group in the Senate.

@refugee topic: Yes, 2015 was managed poorly. No denial. But it's simply absurd to think that Germany will suffer substantially from the mass immigration. It will cost a lot of money and it also will lead to some problems in urban areas. But there are more pressing issues: EU, digitalization, taxes, the healthcare system, pensions, education, etc.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

I know report button exists but maybe asking nicely will work:

Would you kindly stop calling people with different views mentally-challenged?

I think he/she is concerned that people of his views are not represented because the government/coalition would ignore them. Understandable if their party is normal and not extreme.
