AfD bei 26 Prozent: Rechtspartei liegt in weiterer Umfrage vor der Union
www.tagesspiegel.de
Nach der Bundestagswahl steigen die Werte der AfD weiter. Nun überholt die Partei zum zweiten Mal bei einer Erhebung CDU/CSU. Und das Wählerpotenzial scheint noch größer zu sein.

    The pattern in Germany is literally identical to the US and everyone can see it, yet the same thing happens. In France as well, same shit. Both our imperialist overlord and the direct neighbor falling in the same way?! Nope, we can’t see a pattern, we gotta stay the course! Gotta turn this ship to the right to catch those four undecided voters! It’s not worked for 20+ years, but this time, things will be different!

    It really is amazing that these people, who see themselves as very smart and very important, step on the same exact land mine over and over and over and over again, learn no lessons and repeat the process, walking on their remaining extremities.

    Liberalism is not just objectively the moderate wing of fascism, it is also objectively the most delusional.

      The effects of the collapse are not evenly distributed. While many working class people experience significant effects personally, nothing has really changed for the policy makers. This creates a lag between problems occurring and the leadership becoming aware of them. Thus things have to degrade quite significantly before people in power fully understand the severity of the problem. Meanwhile, and reversing current trends requires honestly acknowledging root causes of the problems in order to take corrective action. However, existing political climate precludes this from happening. Instead, it favors opportunists who promise quick and easy solutions to people.

        I’d say that the politicians, at least the ones higher up, are captured by the people with the money, who make sure to keep them compliant by giving them bribes (both legal and illegal), as well as cushy jobs once their time in politics is over. It’s not a failure of the system, it’s capitalism working as intended.

        This is true at least for the major parties like CDU and SPD in Germany. The Greens too these days, there’s very little conviction left in them. FDP is the only party that would change nothing if the bribery stopped, they are true sickos and in it for the love of the game. but with most of them, I really believe they are just cynically accepting that changing anything would be hard, while taking the money is so so very easy.

      I don’t think so, especially now with Merz. The guy is straight up a representative of finance capital. He is going to pave the way for AfD for sure.

        I wouldn’t even say they’re stronger on immigration anymore. The CDU proposals for the next coalition agreement could have been written by the AfD.

      No, there isn’t.

      There’s no fundamental difference between the “mainstream” parties (CDU/CSU, SPD, and Greens) and the AfD. The mainstream parties are structurally and systemically incapable of turning left, and they think they’re losing voters to the right, so they adopt the policies if not the rhetoric of the right.

      What everybody missed last year with the secret AfD party meeting exposé was that they were gloating about precisely that. They recognize that they don’t need electoral representation to achieve their agenda, they just need to pull the parties in power on to their side, and they’ve been wildly successful.
