Meanwhile on the edge of the abyss....

Tomorrow are probably the most significant post war elections we've had in Germany; I voted via mail already, so have the entire day available for fretting. (Not really, there is Darth Real Life stuff to do.) Feli in this vid does a very good job explaining the most important parties and what their program consists of to a non-German audience, in a matter of fact unsensationalistic way (which impressed the hell out of me; in the current climate, the temptation to yell is almost overwhelming):

And here is a good article about what's at stake by Annette Dittert.

Hoping for the best, reacting to the US imploding

Thanks, I read the article (my DW circle is a good source of news). Best of luck to you, may the Germans see sense!!

I always vote by mail in advance (elections here are always Saturdays and I work Saturdays) and it really doesn't help with the fretting - and no election I've voted in has been as potentially consequential as yours today. I wish you luck and your country some sense!

The New Statesman article is terrifying. If I were the praying type, I'd be praying for Germany right now.
