    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.
