Ritschi Alpenstern 🏔️💫@Sagittarius_Galaxie Das macht mich etwas traurig.
Tim Panton@RAlpenstern @Sagittarius_Galaxie Yes, it is sad, but as an outsider with no vote, I noticed 2 things:
1) the greens (certainly here in Berlin) ran an arrogant hagiographic campaign with posters of Habeck and the single word 'Foresight' - which seemed pretty off putting to me (and not at all in the co-op style of the greens)
2) He wasn't always right - he often was - but a bit of humility might have differentiated him from the rest.
Beluga@steely_glint @RAlpenstern @Sagittarius_Galaxie Hm, I guess you mean posters with the word "Zuversicht"? The meaning is along the lines of "confidence that things will turn out well". Not sure what is off-putting about a message of hope.
Apart from this: please name a single high-ranking politician who showed more humility than Habeck. Just one please.
@steely_glint @RAlpenstern @Sagittarius_Galaxie One more thing: even in your "foresight" translation there is a lot of truth. The Greens were and are the only party who actually have political foresight on offer. The main rivals AfD, CDU/CSU, SPD and FDP all falsely promise a return to the good ole days. Foresight is sadly (!) a USP of the Greens.
@aguleb @RAlpenstern @Sagittarius_Galaxie Unfortunately being correct wins you no prizes these days.
