      none of the parties on offer improve people’s lives, yet people vote for them anyway. i dont think that’s the purpose of AFD in the grand scheme of things anyway, they’re there to push the CDU and SPD even further right and further normalize racism and fascism.

                  i’m unhappy they got elected, but since the alternatives are also far right parties, i’d be unhappy about those getting elected too. and i’m observing that when so-called mainstream political parties refuse to actually do anything for their people, the people will vote for someone offering something. since there are no communists, the things on offer are a) status quo (people hate this) b) even more unhinged nazi shit

                  then there are the people who have lost all hope for anything good coming out of politics, so they just vote for whoever infuriates the “respectable” political class the most.
