Chancellor Friedrich Merz's CDU slumped to 5.5% of the vote, ​its ​worst ⁠result in any state election since ​1949. With the ​threshold ⁠set at 5%, it remained unclear whether the ⁠party ​would secure seats ​in the state parliament.

Waiting on the Stockholm Syndrome expats in Germany to lament the failure of their favorite leftists.

Note that the enemedia almost never talks about left-wing or far-left parties. They are always left of center or progressive.

As if the feudal system is progressive.

Unfortunately, the media will keep using it for a long time.

When dealing with the Neo-Nazis in AfD, calling them “far-right” is really the nicest thing that can be said about them and their supporters.

If they were far right the muzzies would be voting for them.

There is a small party that is basically Commies, yet strangely they are not described as far Left.

Here they’d be slightly left of center. 😳

Your FR Profile page lists your considerable right-wing credentials, so I don't mistake your comment for that of a leftist. But it does puzzle me.

I daresay your brush is a little broad, to smear not only the AfD but also "their supporters". A lot of people are sick of the socialism that has infected Europe and Germany in particular, and those people aren't all "Neo-Nazis".

Could you clarify your comment in terms of the specific AfD actions, policies, and statements that you characterize as explicitly "Neo-Nazi"?
