    There’s no party regarding the needs of the middle. Lefty parties cherish asylum seekers or people on wellfare, party because they think it will give them votes. Centrist parties cherish companies, employers. Rightwing parties are (claiming to) mind the middle. Its hard to explain families the parental leave gets cut over and over again but the country has open arms for foreigners. Its hard to explain why a family where both work has trouble to find a big enough flat and they barely see their children over the day while those who dont work get a flat for free with all the time they want. AfDs solution was back to traditional values, which isnt good but better than whatever bullshit we have now. There is another party BSW which wants bigger social security but they didnt make the 5% barrier. So basically people flock to whomever promises to help and didnt fuck them over (yet). The “firewall” against AfD doesnt help as they never had to make difficult descisions but can always yell “we would have made it better”. I can understand theit voters.

      No. Those Nazi fucks use crazy brainwashing propaganda, likely funded by Russia. There’s no logic to see here. The AfD keeps telling lies, which are so painfully obvious to anyone who can still think for themselves. It is also painfully obvious that their only goal is to get rich and powerful. That’s it. Anyone voting for the AfD is either a disgusting Nazi (as in full blown, Hitler loving Nazi) or brainwashed to believe the lies.

      Leaving all the fascist stuff aside…how would any of the AfD policies help the middle class? You say

      centrist parties cherish companies

      which is true…but have you had a look at AfD policies? Now that’s what I call “cherish companies”.

      Why are you repeating bullshit right-wing talking points here that have nothing to do with reality?

      Wow, quite a bit…

      The lefty parties want a good life for everyone not just wellfare or immigrants.

      If the unemployed are living that well the logical conclusion would be to become unemployed right?

      Without the firewall the afd would still blame the other parties till they have the majority…

      No I cant understand the voters, history proved time and time again that living in a fascist regime sucks for nearly everyone sooner or later. The C*U and SPD already doubled the amount of immigrants that are getting deported. The amount of immigration is falling for years. The rich are getting richer but sure the problem are the poor…immigrants cost around 7 billions(https://www.bpb.de/themen/migration-integration/zahlen-zu-asyl/265776/asylbedingte-kosten-und-ausgaben/) Bürgergeld is around 50 billions ( https://www.buerger-geld.org/news/buergergeld/buergergeld-rekord-fuer-wen-in-deutschland-was-gezahlt-wird-und-warum-die-kosten-2025-explodieren/) the richest german is worth 47 billions. He nearly doubled his worth in the last five years from 30 billions in 2020 (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_reichsten_Deutschen_(Manager_Magazin))

      They have convinced the poor to blame the even poorer. As long as you have someone to look down to…

      Germany tried the far right and in the end the country was bombed to shit and divided. I much rather have Merz gutting the social system, then that bullshit.

      But yes, Germany needs to really help the middle class a lot more. Taxes on work are among the highest in the OECD. So cutting that would help a lot. Also the tax for buying real estate. So people buy their homes and not rent all the time. But helping the weakest in society is a case of all boats rise with the tide.
