Great article with a good summary on how progressive policies can help you win elections. But it's not that centre-right politicians aren't smart enough to understand this, they have a different identity. This is fossil fueled capitalism. And the media supports it. It's class war from the top.
This is about as good a survey as I've seen of where Europe's center (and center-right in Germany) have gone wrong, what they could do to course correct, and the stakes involved.

Dabei haben wir doch alles getan um die Industrie zu retten! Wir haben veraltete Technologien gefördert, wir haben jeden Anreiz zum Energiesparen genommen durch Industriestrompreis, wir rüsten das Militär auf, wir besteuern keine Vermögen um die Reichen hier zu behalten, WAS DENN NOCH?

George Lakoff and I pushed this simple and reasonable idea years ago. When I returned to journalism, I realized the problem. Editors care more about SEO and controversy (=clicks) than about whether the headline is destroying truth. Incentive is to bait engagement at all cost.

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Der nächste Trend, den Deutschland verpennt.
Heavy trucks in China:
>2020: 99% of new trucks ran on diesel
>First half 2024: Electric trucks at 9.2% of new truck sales
>First half 2025: E-trucks at 22%
>August 2025: 28%
>By end of 2025: 46%
>2026: 60%

Ich bin für Pflichtrente ab 70. Zumindest in der Politik.
Regenwald war gestern, jetzt verkündet Merz Doppelschlag gegen Klimaschutz! Während sich Carsten Schneider weiter im Amazonas für den Klimaschutz abmüht, fällt ihm die eigene Koalition in den Rücken. Denn im Koalitionsausschuss spielt Klima dann plötzlich keine Rolle mehr.

One of the most self-destructive things Germany could do is to reverse the green transition now.

Renewables expansion has been on a tear but Germany has seen reversals before, unfortunately. And the country still does not have oil or gas and isn’t getting any anytime soon (ever).

Sehr guter Artikel.
"Der wahre Grund für das Wadephul-Bashing liegt darin, dass die Migrationspolitik aus Sicht der Union nach einem halben Jahr der Kanzlerschaft von Friedrich Merz das einzige, aber auch wirklich das einzige Feld ist, auf dem sie konkrete Erfolge vorweisen zu können glaubt."

Das permanente Gerede über so genannte „Tabus“, die jetzt endlich gebrochen werden, geht an der Realität komplett vorbei. Als würde nicht permanent über angebliche Gefahren der Migration debattiert werden. Als wäre Rassismus nicht längst hoffähig geworden in diesem Land.
