The post-COVID political reaper continues its work.

It will be interesting to see what will finally switch things so that people arent basically continuously mad at the world. Or is this just our fate in the social media era.

I think this is just our fate - that said, there can be varying levels of anger

I saw somewhere (here, the discord?) that the party holding the White House hasn't won the House since 2004. Even in relatively good times (2014, 2018, 2022) it just seems that people want to vote against the guy at the top.

I could see quite a few outcomes from SDP not landing in third, CDU underperforming, and AfD either way underperforming or way outperforming. Considering how a lot of elections have gone the last 12 months I wouldnтАЩt trust polling in a European election as far as I can throw it
