Martin Rothweiler, a member of the state parliament, wrote that the AfD in Baden-Württemberg had offered a conservative coalition to the CDU, while the CDU had voluntarily chosen to collaborate with the Greens as a junior partner. The CDU also voted against a proposal to reactivate nuclear power and continues to provide state funding for leftist projects, the cancellation of which the AfD had demanded. Rothweiler consequently described the CDU as a leftist party. He stated that it was time for the AfD to overtake the CDU in Baden-Württemberg as well and asked whether readers would help with this. #AfD #BadenWürttemberg #Politik (translated)

Kai Nielsen wrote that the political left has set a concerning precedent for the future, which could be a taste of what conservative politicians are to face. He feared that inquiries into who voted how could extend into private lives and that electoral secrecy would only be granted to one's own political bubble. Nielsen described this as a terrible development and wrote that he did not expect a return to the Stasi era. #Wahlfreiheit #Politik #Freiheit #Wahlen (translated)

Malca Goldstein-Wolf recommended reading a linked comment in full and stated that she agreed with its assertions. The comment criticized that politics and the media focused on right-wing forces while left-wing extremism advanced. At the same time, it accused politicians and journalists of having a negative fixation on everything right-wing and pointed out that "right" was used as a pejorative in national newspaper headlines. According to the comment, the Union, FDP, and AfD together achieved 45.9 percent in the federal elections in 2002 and 53.7 percent in 2025 — if one categorizes these parties as conservative or at least not left-wing. It also complained that there was a demarcation to the right but no corresponding demarcation to the left, causing the distinction between right and right-wing extremist as well as left and left-wing extremist to be lost. Goldstein-Wolf also highlighted the question of whether the left is the new right. https://t.co/TsSnyqmFvP #Politik #Extremismus #Demokratie (translated)

U.M. OSINT announced that he had informed the responsible district association of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen about his departure from the party in the afternoon. He stated that he was left-liberal and had originally become a member because the Greens had become more liberal. However, he can no longer support the development of the party since the last legislative period, particularly its positioning on Palestine, left-wing extremism, and terrorism. He cited the concessions made by the Greens to Die Linke in Berlin as a decisive reason, which he described as vague and unsubstantial. He criticized the Greens for not demanding any concrete consequences, such as the resignation or expulsion of Koçak, the dissolution of the Neukölln Linke association, or the working group on Palestine solidarity. He referred to alleged connections of the group to terrorism apologists and possible links to the PFLP. U.M. OSINT accused the Greens of effectively granting amnesty to left-wing enemies of democracy and terrorism supporters for the sake of maintaining power. In his view, the party has thereby forfeited any right to demand other parties distance themselves from the AfD. He also criticized the SPD and predicted that for them, it would increasingly be about achieving double-digit results in upcoming elections. Furthermore, he criticized political compromises made to maintain participation in government and warned of lasting damage to Berlin, particularly regarding investments and jobs. He stated that he no longer wants to disclose future party memberships publicly and expressed curiosity about the upcoming elections in Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia. #Grüne #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

The user sparbuchfeinde wrote that the Union underestimates how much its political business model is damaged. Voters of a supposedly conservative party have little reason to support it, in his view, if it then forms a coalition with the SPD and the Greens and pursues leftist politics. Friedrich Merz was still able to claim in 2025 that he acted differently than Angela Merkel and kept the SPD in line, wrote sparbuchfeinde. However, this "sleight of hand" only works once. With 17.5 percent, no one believes anymore that the Union can implement certain policies, he added. #Politik #Wahlen #Deutschland (translated)
