Call me stupid (and you’d be justified for calling me so!), but I feel like it’s a good thing if BSW is there in that it snoops votes away from people who otherwise vote AfD. They’re both terrible, but BSW at least tries to fight privatisation where AfD puts everything into the hands of unelected profit-motivated tech moguls.
That said, I’d take the SDP, Grünen and Linke over those anyday.
Interesting. Many more people who didn’t vote before, I see. About 1,880,000 votes.
So, about …
23.4% from SPD
21.3% who didn’t vote before
18.6% from Linke
13.8% from FDP
11.7% from Union
8% from Grünen
3.2% from AfD
Interesting. So it mainly got votes from the “non-Green” Left and non-voters, with FDP, Union, and Grünen having less joiners, but nonetheless fairly evenly distributed, and AfD last.

That doesn’t quite work though, BSW doesn’t attract many AfD voters.
Huh. Where does its voter base then come from?
From antivaxer idiots who don’t vote Nazis and tankies who don’t vote The Left.

How about AfD?
Because the AfD isn’t voted for their political positions. People vote AfD for vibes, hatred and misdirected frustration.
