Hell, I'm in support of Merz selling his own mother if it means more support for Ukraine.
... I may be in a dark place right now.
That's actually my reasoning voting for him...Kleineres Übel...and let's be honest, Scholz never was Chancellor material, Habeck still needs more time and I don't think he's got enough support from the greens "realoflügel" to have his back and on top of that, the greens do not have enough support to "make" Chancellor. I hate Merz' s guts, but unless the SPD finds a different candidate (Pistorius, anyone...? I'd vote in a heartbeat for him and I despise the SPD)...Merz is it, even with the risk of an Afd involvement. So if he sells his mother for Taurus in Ukraine and punish Putins utter madness once and for all...so be it.
Habeck is a realo, not fundie. Support for him among green voters (which is what actually counts, not party members, he'll get his nomination because who else should they run) is overwhelming, very good among SPD voters, AfD voters hate him and that won't change any time soon, CDU is where he's going to have to make inroads. Perception-wise the problem is competence, blame that on the Bild campaign and I absolutely expect that to shift very quickly once people actually hear him in a debate.
I listened to Habecks musings quite often and I pray he's not going to be Chancellor.
