Als nicht-Deutscher: wie hart mussten die gestandenen Parteien und Politiker in den letzten Jahr[zehnt]en verkackt haben dass wir hier gelandet sind? Es kommt ja nie einfach so von ungefähr weil ja alles gut läuft

It's 85% now and it's probably because it's just a fucking funny drawing of a shrimp drinking tea and speaking silly stuff... (it may also be because being trans or feminist has nothing to do with humor, stop pandering)

Well apple in french is "pomme" so "pomme grenade" is kind of the literal translation - not sure if the English word actually comes from this

But the plastic straws from western Europe polluting the sea!

Calm down buddy, nobody called you a sovereign citizen. The comment above yours is just saying that trying to renounce citizenship but not being able to emigrate (since nobody else wants us) would leave only the option of sovereign citizenship, which obviously doesn't really work or solve anything.

Stop looking for something to feel offended about and read properly.

Amazing, imagine writing a bot so annoying that app devs put a specific button in their settings to ignore it. Thanks for the tip!

A scabby one, it seems

Their election system (basically winner-takes-all) pretty much guarantees that it will converge in a two-party system with roughly 50/50 share and people voting for "the lesser evil" rather than their favourite. If a third challenger appears, it will split the voter base of the more close candidate and guarantee a huge victory for the farther candidate (the opposite of what the challenger stands for). So essentially it's doomed to be a bipartisan circlejerk unless the election system itself is changed.
