Hello to all the wonderful Germans following this account
Please, for the sake of humanity, use your vote today to stop the AfD.
Thanks to Germany's excellent proportional voting system, Germans have a wide range of parties to vote for and every vote counts towards the result. Voting for any party except the AfD will help to stop them by diluting their vote share.
If ever there was a time to vote, today is that day. This is your chance to make a difference.

Yup, excellent explanation, adjusted the post to reflect it.

p.s. Important voting tip from many contributors:
1. Use first vote to choose your favourite candidate from those likely to win in your particular voting district. It doesn't matter if their party is small nationally, the candidate can still get in if they are popular in your district.
2. Use second vote to choose your favourite from parties likely to get over 5% of the vote.
If you do both these things, it will make your vote most effective
p.p.s. Okay, polls have closed in Germany, well done to everyone who voted and let's hope for the best in the weeks to come as a coalition government is formed.
(For those wondering, I don't make a habit of posting about elections on this account. I'll only do one-off posts if there's some kind of historically dangerous situation.)
️ excellent explanation, cannot be said any more concise.
