Mir wird schlecht. Nicht im übertragenen Sinne, sondern wortwörtlich. Mir ist übel.
The SPD is not a great comparison number because as a party it has a severe identity crisis. They sold their soul by being in a big coalition and many people that remember what the SPD stood for don’t find the party it once was. Even worse young voters don’t see themselves represented by them because they see no difference to the opposition. That is why the Green Party has done so well.
The last election the SPD got more votes than everyone imagined and they still are not able to show Germany why they are a better choice.
They only got more votes than imagined because the candidatebof the conservative CDU was so grossly incompetent, he laughed in the background of the president holding a speech mourning the hundreds of casualities from a flood.
The voters that them voted SPD were people whos political mind does not consider more options than CDU and SPD with the CDU being the choice of habit.
Sometimes it’s hard not to feel resentment towards your own country’s inhabitants.
Das traurige daran ist auch, dass die FDP immer noch die 5 Prozent Hürde schaffen würde.

A far-right party on the rise in Germany. Here we go again…
The East has already been overtaken by these illiterate pieces of shit and it’s getting worse than it was before. Meanwhile as long as die Linke keeps Wagenknacht as de facto spokesperson, they’ll never get anywhere in elections.
I think we need a local social-conservative party similar to the CSU in bavaria for the east to ever bring political stability to this region. The afd is the worst choice for that, but the local identity in the east is similarly strong as in bavaria, so many will never trust a federal party again after everything that happened in the last 30 years.
I would never listen to polls. They mean nothing.
