German Elections & Politics

Even then, however, social democrats generally don't like working together with their more radically socialist counterparts. It tends to hurt them electorally.

lol wat

Has this ever happened in the modern era? The Left Bloc collapsed in Portugal from 10% to 5% after supporting the Socialists between 2009 and 2011. The Left declined from 12% to 6% while supporting the Social Democrats in Sweden between 1998 and 2006. Social Democrats went from 36% to 35%. The Socialist Left Party went from 13% to 4% supporting various governments between 2001 and 2013. Social Democrats went from 24% to 30%. The IU almost died while cooperating with the PSOE in Spain. Cooperation with the PS killed the PCF in France. The radical left has never fared well in coalition governments. A lot of times it fails to distinguish itself from the Social Democrats and there voters end up getting subsumed. I can honestly not think of a single situation where the Social Democrats lost votes to radical left parties after entering government with them. Most of the times they absorb them.

But CSU didn't copy the AfD. The CSU is slightly wary of Muslim immigration. The AfD literally supports the ethnic cleansing of Muslims from Germany. Anyone who supports or votes AfD in 2018 knows they march side by side with the neo-Nazis. The gap is very large, though the coalition would be easy to form, as has always been the case with German racialism.

Such a partisan, left-wing populist bullsh**t!
The Greens and the Left march side by side with the left-wing fascist Antifa, which is willing to resort to violence, and with anti-constitutional parties like the MLPD and the KPD, they openly support musicians who call for violence against the police, and anyone who supports or votes Greens/Left in 2018 knows that they approve of Turk-Arab parallel societies and Turk-Arab family clans and of Sharia and that they refuse to deport criminal asylum seekers.

You're complaining about "muh violent anti-cop music" in 2018? Hasn't this been studied? Hasn't it been known for like 20 years that the popularity of "muh violent music! muh rap!" has no correlation with crime rates? So... you're just the upset the left supports freedom of speech? How dare they, I guess.

And when you say anti-constitutional parties, you mean constitutional. Last time I checked the MLPD and KPD weren't illegal.
