I work for a Green member of the German Parliament – AMA!
Hi Reddit!
Almost three years ago, I started working for a member of the German Parliament (Bundestag) for the Greens (Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen). For the first half of my "tenure", we were part of a government coalition. Then the coalition split, we lost a snap election and had to regroup. The past year has been a time of relearning my job to help find into our role in the parliamentary opposition. It's an ongoing process!
Now. I will try to anonymize my answers enough so that you can't identify me or my boss directly, but otherwise, AMA! This is my third time doing this.

(PS: if you think this AMA is interesting, please upvote! Otherwise the people who simply downvote because they don't like progressive politics will get the upper hand and no one else will see this.)
Edit: Updated proof
Edit2: Going to bed now, will respond to more questions tomorrow!
