The Stimmung here was beyond disappointed.  the most positive discussion was regarding how opposition will refine the points the left parties embrace.  the least positive was everyone pointing fingers.

To me, the mark of how bitter this was, was how early everyone was completely drunk, so i left early.

i was surprised at how many people understood how dangerous the FDP is, but then i live in Das Viertel.  But even the CDU speaker said that the results were an anomaly, and shouldn't be used to change every direction completely.  he was booed by his own people.

I still have nothing intelligent to say, other than the Bild-Zeitung should be outlawed, but then that would make me a fascist, so better i say nothing.
