#Germany #SocialDemocrats #Elections
This guy has zero clue what he’s talking about
Forgot the FDP result, calling the SPD SDP, … this reporting very much tells how little US news could care about what's going on in other countries.
Just make sure that none of the candidates have failed art school then we're good.
Leftist party defeats Leftist party. Big deal.
Merkel is one of Europe’s most evil women.
Panama reported new group of 85,000 Haitians crossed through headed for Texas. After Biden let 12,000 stay from last group there is nothing to stop them. Democrats are in big trouble ignoring the Border with Fake news protecting them up to now.
If Biden thinks Texas will put up with this he is worse off than thought.
16 years! Yet you anglo saxons point fingers at Putin or Chavez.
This is garbage and doesn't help at all if you want to understand what was going on.
0:15 They forgot the FDP with 11.5% of the vote but included the Left extremist party with 4.9%?
As a german i have to add that this Mat Bradley seems to have no clue about german politics.
They are NOT Dems. The USAs Democrats are a right wing party, these are centre-left.
You forgot the FDP
Didn't social democrats start a war some 80 years ago?
How is 3 parties in government soooo many parties?
No wonder the term Fake News comes from the US 😅 are they even researching things there? they just forget entire partys
If they wouldn't waste so much time on stating how extremely complicated and complex everything is, they could actually explain it.
America first.Trump Won.
How bad are American news?? well let's just forget a party that has 11.5% of all votes and which is probably going to be part of the next coalition.
0:18: And the FDP?
Merkel and her party became the RINO's of the party. Which is why they got eliminated.
Wow! https://youtu.be/MaXPed0ZfRU , https://youtu.be/hBkMe4TdHDQ
Angela Merkel was considered centre-right ? LMAO
The fact that nearly all german news producers have de-activated the comments section, is itself a declaration of political disaster.
The future of germany, as a global leader, is on the steps to the gallows.
In Brazil, the vote is electronic. The Brazilian don't have proof of the votes kkkk… The supreme court is bigger than the president. The Supreme court in Brazil is like Europe followers…. The election judge is political and speaks French and English fluently… He says we don't need proof of vote
I‘m not surprised that the reds won. What I find stunning is that the Green Party won in my zipcode. One of three in entire Bavaria. I guess, someone in my neighborhood is unhappy with the tax cuts they‘ve been receiving.
Singles, without children, with an academic degree, run for the hills! Oh, wait, I‘m on the „get their money“ list, too.
1:25 not very much? May I remind that it went from 2017s 32,9% for CDU/CSU and 20,5% for SPD to this there? Along with the greens gaining almost 6% there compared to the last election?
Added with the fact that a majority government can easily be formed without the cdu/csu there now and is even more legitimate? (Cropped out fdp there has 11,5% of the votes and can together with spd and the greens form a traffic light coalition there).
Making a coalition with the cdu/csu is political suicide for the greens as well there (just mentioning it cause both the greens and the fdp together are right now kingmakers there and that this the current situation there).
He is the biggest Neo-Liberal there's in Europe.
The SPD is the Social Party Germany, not the Social Democrats.
Nazi party Hitler
What is the SDP he is talking about (ca 1:45) ðŸ¤â€
0:16 Where is the FDP 😢😂
You might be wrong about the impact on the US. With Merkel gone, Macron and Draghi will have a bigger say in Europe and the German SPD and Greens are more pro-EU integration. So stabbing France in the back with AUKUS might become a problem for Biden later on. In the long-run we will more likely see a Europe with a separate defence system. That might signal the end of NATO and although many politicians in Europe and the US might want that, it still is uncharted territory for both Europe and the US.
It's SPD, not SDP
The heir apparent ascending to the throne.
And the Winner of the German Election Is … Nobody
Whatever the result is, this election is just a BS.
Shinedown- Monsters
So what, use professional language " the queen of the world" you are supposed to be a journalist…it is ironical that people voted for one party and one man, BUT there may not be any change in the government; German democracy???
project Veritas, https://youtu.be/hNIj83XNNeE
0:15 The FDP is like: "What am I, Chopped Liver?"
They forgot the FDP (liberal party) as the 4th party in the results
Isn't Donald Trump part German? he must be livid about all this…. lol!!
Sheep love free stuff….period.
Shout out to George Floyd on seventeen months of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals🖕.
I guess the left cheats in Germany too
It proves that the whole world is shifting towards left..right wingers trump and his supporters are minority in every place on this planet
So much voter fraud going on all over. Very sad !
Democrats are destroying this country and your children's future
When are they going to talk about Biden blowing up seven innocent children in Afghanistan?
BS talking head…this is going to be one of the best times for Germany…a coalition government is exciting!
