For what it's worth both times in the last twelve years that the SPD could have worked with the left and greens they worked with the CDU instead.

nazis are currently 13% of the government under the German approach and 70% of the government under the American approach, so I'll have to give them this round

Alternatively, they live in part of a first world country that is so poo poo compared to the rest that people don't even want to go there from newly joined Eastern European states despite the fact that they can, easily. That's the other way to frame it and I feel like it more properly explains their disillusionment with neoliberalism.

she came to the party conference last year and made a plea for them to come up with detailed platforms on economics and foreign policy and Serious Government stuff and also maybe keep the more overt bigotry out of public statements, and the rest of the party told her to shut up, the platform of shrieking about muslims and telling germans to be proud of the wehrmacht was perfect.

also she didn't just quit, the afd was holding a victory press conference and in the middle she just told everyone that actually she'll sit as an independent, k thx bye, then stood up and walked out while the other leader gaped at her :laffo:

no she just wanted to say gently caress you very publically

she has been fighting with the extreme wing of her party for years, is under investigation for fraud, got several AfD members expelled, was threatened with being expelled, has talked poo poo and was talked poo poo about. this is gonna be a surprise but the AfD is not exactly a well-coordinated party full of shrewd politicians

addon: there are also persistent rumors that she will try to split the party. if she can convince ~1/3rd of newly elected AfD parliamentarians to join her she can immediately open up her own party. the fact that this isn't a crazy rumour but might actually be something she will try should tell you all about the AfD.
