Why’s that? I drove a Cupra Born last week, pretty decent imo. I also drove a VW ID3 and a BMW i3. So far the only European EV I didn’t like was the Audi e-tron. I haven’t driven a Korean or Chinese EV yet, so I can’t really compare. What do you prefer about them?

Why the fuck would you make this about the US? Or Iran?

You could even remove 5 more words

That’s the kind of manager that also tells you that you just lack creativity and vision if you tell them that it’s not possible. They also post regularly on LinkedIn

I don’t think so.

Kommt ein Verbotsverfahren? Mit der Neubewertung durch das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz dürfte die Debatte um ein Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD neu entfacht werden. Allerdings gibt es keinerlei Automatismus: Die Bewertung als “erwiesen rechtsextremistisch” ist weder die Voraussetzung dafür, noch ist ein Verbotsverfahren die zwangsläufige Folge.

Translation:

Will a ban procedure be implemented? The reassessment by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is likely to reignite the debate about banning the AfD. However, there is no automatic process: The assessment as “proven right-wing extremist” is neither a prerequisite for it, nor is a ban procedure the inevitable consequence.

The reassessment means that more resources can be invested and that the intelligence services have more tools at their disposal to monitor the party e.g. spying on them and not solely relying on monitoring the media. I think it also means that civil servants cannot be members of the party.

Everyone who has ever analyzed anything statistical on the population level knows that everything you just wrote is bullshit.

I’d be wary of a statistic where absolutely no Democrat likes Trump. Some people are just stupid or have extremely weird ideas so even completely bonkers stuff is believed by some.

Go to Democratic rallies and look

That’s the biggest fallacy right here. Most democratic leaning voters never go to any rally. In general, many voters never discuss politics. You’re in a bubble.

Absolutely. The AfD is careful to walk the line. What they want according to their program is abhorrent and stupid but not illegal. That’s why no party was banned since the 50s, parties know what they can and can’t state publicly.

And what do you base your assumption on that the AP does that?

No, it’s not. The hurdles to ban a political party in Germany are extremely high. Only three institutions can request that the Bundesverfassungsgericht (similar: supreme court) rules on a party’s compatibility with the liberal-democratic basic order. The government, the Bundestag (cf. House of Representatives), or the Bundesrat (cf. Senate). There’s no majority for such a process in either of these chambers or the Government. One of the main reasons is the fear that the court will not rule to ban the AfD and that the court proceedings would just damage the democratic parties and the constitutional order.

I can’t say I blame them. That this process to ban the AfD would be successful is not very likely. The decision would have to be made by the court with a 2/3 majority and several points need to be proven:

They have to be unconstitutional: “Parties which, by their objectives or the behavior of their supporters, aim to impair or eliminate the free democratic basic order or to endanger the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany are unconstitutional.”

However, simply being unconstitutional is not enough: “Rather, there must be an actively combative, aggressive attitude toward the existing order. This attitude must systematically undermine its functioning and, in the process, seek to eliminate it itself.” (From the proceedings of the ban of the communist party)

In addition, the party must intend to impair or eliminate the free democratic basic order. Elimination means “the abolition of at least one of the essential elements of the free democratic basic order or its replacement by another constitutional order or another system of government”.

Furthermore, they also need to have the means to be able to reach that goal.

Because of these high hurdles, only two such bans were successful in the Federal Republic of Germany. In the 50s, a Nazi Party and the Communist Party were banned. No party was sussessfully banned since then.

“don’t know” it’s right there in the article

No polling institute would make such stupid mistakes

We might need a car at some point in the next 12 months, that’s why I look online from time to time for a used BEV to get a feeling how much money we will need. I had the feeling that ID4s usually lose more value over time than ID3s, but I didn’t analyse it much further than that. Roughly, the numbers I saw were new ones are 30k€ for an ID3 and 40k€ for an ID4 while you apparently can get both used for 20k€.

Username checks out

What’s your opinion on used ID4s from 2021ish? Used ones are surprisingly cheap to get and I’m a little unsure why that is
