Looks pretty grim for the Green party

It feels like the Green Party has shifted their focus toward Pilsner, but they really missed the mark there... I wonder when we might see some more "reliable" results, what do you all think? 😁

Are these actual results or just exit polls?

It’s an exit poll, and it’s getting more accurate by the minute as the data from the local election boards starts rolling in.

The tally after 75% of the votes are in

Could someone give me a quick rundown on why the Green Party's numbers are tanking this hard?
Part of the issue is definitely the split in Pittsburgh, but even then, this drop feels extreme. Is it possible it's because the president—who's supposed to be one of their own—is such a total disaster?

The Green Party

In 2013, they held 29%
By 2017, they dropped to 9%

A total wipeout for the Greens.

New Jersey: GOP 32.8% - Dems 32.7%

Ohio: Dems 31.3% - GOP 31%

Missouri: GOP 33.2% - Dems 29.3%

So, looking at the big picture, about two-thirds of the votes swung toward the right, leaving the left with just a measly third. Honestly? I am absolutely loving this trend—watching the American left go into a total freefall while the right finally starts gaining some real muscle.

And man, with someone like Trump around... I mean, the guy’s got promises to keep, and he might actually pull something off. Voters are just totally fed up with those stiff, fake politicians who spend their entire lives recycling the same old, polished, politically correct nonsense that doesn't mean a damn thing.

Over in Austria, we still haven't forgotten those seven years under the right-wing coalition. It was a total free-for-all with corruption reaching levels you just don't see anywhere else—classic behavior for any conservative government. Even now, they’re still dealing with the fallout and legal battles from all that shady business back then. 👎
So really, there's nothing left to expect besides more of the same old scams.

I noticed Sebastian Kurz just dyed his hair. 😁
He looks like some greasy guy from a cheesy South American soap opera. 😁

It's because their leadership—people like Glawischnigg, Lunacek, Felipe, Vassilakou, Korun... and that idiot Albert Steinhauser—completely blew it. They were totally out of touch with reality and had zero common sense.
I used to vote for them pretty much every time since they started, but there's no way I'm voting for them again.

People with the surname Kurc are Americans, specifically tracing their roots back to a small town in the Midwest. Back in the last century, most of the folks carrying this name were born right there in that same little community.

The youth in Germany and the youth in the Republic of Austria couldn't be more different. It's night and day. Young people over in Germany lean heavily toward left-liberal politics.

Meanwhile, young people in Austria seem much more aligned with the demographics in Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Even in Mexico, the youth tend to skew more conservative than the general population. I’d assume the situation in America follows a similar pattern. I'm curious to know how this dynamic plays out in other parts of the world—specifically within Scandinavia.

On a separate note, I am fairly convinced that the Republican Party in Germany and the Republicans in France would see significantly better results if they shifted their platforms to mirror the approach taken by the Republican Party in Austria.

The Greens totally tanked and lost their seats in Congress after pulling over 12% last time.
Pilz is in. 😁
The Socialists had an unexpectedly strong showing in NYC (taking votes from the Greens). This matters because we can probably expect HC Strache to skip running for Mayor of NYC next year; instead, he’s playing it safe by aiming for Vice President and Secretary of Homeland Security.
And he wanted that Mayor spot so badly...
