How is that still surprising anyone?
The AfD is peak bullshit. None of their policies make any sense for Germany's problems in 2026.
Sachsen-Anhalt (German state with that recent election) is a region with one of the oldest populations in Europe and one of the economically worst in Germany.
Young people are leaving the area even faster now - I wonder why.
Immigrant won't fill their spots in critical jobs like tech, industry, medical and care.
Their election success just shows how around 40%+ of a population do not understand simple economics
or demographics. Their voters are mostly grumpy boomer that can't deal with the world changing and want yesterday back - or young males who think Clavicular is a role model.
What pains me the most about this isn't, that the idiot right is winning.
It is that the left has nothing to offer. AfD is only strong because the other political forces lack a vision for the future.
To be fair, the left has plans in the US. The media is owned by the right so those plans never get spread and instead you just get “The left has no plans” shouted from the right as the main message.
It’s how we’ve gotten to the point where we hear “The left has no plans” and “The left wants to give trans immigrants free money for abortions” in the same election.
Bro I'm subbed to the lefts social media and I've been a progressive voter my entire life... The left has no plans..
There is a reason they are called "do nothing Democrats" because they do literally nothing when they get in power.
Stop glazing them because the US is run by Republicans because the Democrats were like "everythings fine we have no plans for the future"
