Yeah a lot of germans are full on
which is incredibly bleak because the SPD is full on let's cut the education budget in half in fact we need to do so much austerity, Linke is well Linke. So yeah, I hate german libs a lot but I feel so sorry for my german comrades.
What's up with Linke? Anything particularly spicy?
I don't know if I want to harp on them too much, die Linke is pretty much only a thing in eastern germany. The west germany has basically suppressed them heavily, first by what some historians would call a 'colonization' of east germany due to just how fucking bad reunification was for eastern germany, as well as deliberate neglect by western germany letting the situation spiral out of control. A lot of Die Linke politicians were also illegally surveilled and harassed and were often smeared as red fash using horseshoe theory stuff.
This leads us to now where they just suck like they are to the left similar to how AOC is to the left of Biden unable/unwilling to do anything so they'll keep losing ground to the AfD they'll not get anywhere.
They've slowly bled voters because they spent the last couple years with infighting and are now about to split into a pro-imperialist ineffectual radlib wing and a transphobic social reactionary wing, which may lead to both new parties being too weak to make it into parliament any longer
