Yes - but if leading AfD figures were stripped of their right to vote, then such ruling would hit that person _regardless_ of which party he or she¹ is in. And it would also prevent those people from running as independent candidates. So I think going after individuals vs. going after parties is not an either-or. It would make sense to do both.

¹ I don't think AfD has enby members.
Actually, Le Pen demanded herself that politicians who were convicted for embezzlement or corruption should be stripped from their right to run in elections - for the rest of their life. Le Pen got only 5 years which is less than what she demanded.

I might be able to get used to being around nude sauna users. But I wouldn't want to be nude myself when using a sauna. Unortunately, I live in an area that doesn't have any single Texitilsauna within range. Looks like the only way how I can ever sauna in my neighborhood will be by suing the owner of a sauna.

Yes, both Aldis are quite similar. Actually, they recently became even more similar because they unified their off-brand sortiment, with both companies discontinuing part of their off-brand items in favor of products from the other side of the Aldi equator. Trader Joe's, however, seems to be a bit more different from Aldi.
Btw, IIRC, the reason why the two Aldis split was a dispute over whether or not to sell cigarettes. But these days, both Aldis have cigarettes.

THis is alarming. BUT: This is just Aldi US which is still controlled by Aldi Süd in Germany. To me this doesn't look like a change in corporate values. This is a corporation that is afraid of Donald Trump. They don't LIKE doing this.
@Vittelius @courageousstep
Generally, I like the idea of boycotting the US.
However, I'm not sure if we should hit the entire country. I'm wondering... Would it be better if we supported anti-Trump businesses instead of boycotting all of the US equally? That's a question.

Actually, Aldi is two companies (Aldi North and Aldi South) owned by 2 brothers. The US has Aldi South and Trader Joe's (which is owned by Aldi North). Btw, I grew up in Aldi South territory but then moved across the Aldi Equator so I now live in Aldi North territory. @cm0002 @courageousstep
Bloody hell. I already assumed that something was going wrong in Berlin when I heard what state police is doing with the Adenauer SRP+ but this shows that the problem situation in Berlin is not limited to the state police. Now I'm heavily concerned. TIL that the Berlin state government is mysogynist and racist.
