As a German, I'll have to agree. The younger generation's view of the three candidates is very much what I imagined the US population felt when looking at the Trump vs Biden choice: "really - don't we have anyone else?" The problem - unfortunately - is that German politics and parties disproportionally cater to the older generations. They vote at a much higher percentage, so it's opportune for the parties to tailor their offerings to them. This in turn disenfranchises younger voters which thus turn up in lower numbers to vote thus giving even more weight to the elderly vote and so on. As a result we're stuck with an ever growing pension system, little appetite for innovation and three potential candidates that couldn't be any less inspiring, but are just non-threatening enough to be acceptable by the post-war generations...
