Merkel didn't step down though.....

The article people keep referring to says she will be stepping down in September, because it is the end of her term. She just said she wasn't seeking reelection.

Oh man a technicality on 1/7 things. Guess I’ll just assume everything is as normal as apple pie.

It's not a technicality. The point is presented there as if she is stepping down now. It is being framed to give a false narrative.

Both sides are capable of this.

Question things, instead of taking memes at their face value.

False, it is not being presented that way, you interpreted it that way. She IS stepping down and wont run again, which is significant. No false narrative was painted except in your own mind.

Wrong.

It is in that list as "Merkel steps down" That is false.

It's not how I interpreter it. It's English.

She is stepping down at the end of her term. Not running again while clearly eligible. Nothing listed is incorrect. You choose to read it that way. Sucks to be you.

As I said, it literally says "Merkel steps down". That is present tense.

I know English is hard, but you should at least attempt it if you are going to be here.

Just accept the fact that you are wrong and move on lol
