    … And it’s completely unnecessary.

    Just because a single delusional libertarian can’t get his ego in check the entire country has to suffer.

      Imagine having to work with a snake like Lindner and a wet paper towel like Scholz on a daily basis. I don’t agree with everything Habeck does but just for that fact alone he’s earned my respect. I would have fucking resigned like 3 months in.

        Even if you completely disagree with his position (which I don’t), you should actually want politicians like him. He’s the only politician who actually and consistently really explains himself. He clearly gives you arguments pro and con, states his assumptions and conclusions. That’s exactly how a leader should behave. Yet, he’s getting ridiculed for exactly that.

        … Because of the same guy.

        He’s actively sabotaging his own government and I don’t even understand why. He’s not gaining anything. It’s not even corruption, he pissed off even the industry.

      Lindner is not alone. His other ministers are also causing a lot of damage and his party seems to be in support of all that.

          He doesn’t seem very bad from what I’ve just read in Wikipedia. Which parts are delusional?

            Trust US, he’s bad. He is blocking the necessary investments to get Germany’s economy back on a growth path.
