This is a disaster.
The SPD is a fucking joke, betrayed their base voters for decades and has no concept of a future for the working class.
the LINKE could be so much more if they drop some of their international stances that make them unelectable.
FDP is still seen as business shills.
Let me tell you who the media and most people will blame:
- Merkel, even if she is the one who is the most centrist-left CDU party-leader ever and everyone after her would steer the CDU into the center-right up to far-right.
- East Germans. The punching bag for the west for 3 decades. If something is wrong it is the East's fault. You can only tell someone he is the scum of earth so much times until he abandons the established parties. Even if the percentages for AFD is higher in the east, the number of people voting for them is smaller than in the West, especially in contrast to the far-right heaven like Bavaria, where the CSU is finally showing their far-right views.
