Lol, do you seriously think the 'alternative' would be any more progressive when it comes to freedom of information (or government transparency in general) once they'd be in power?

I guess the Left or the Greens or the useless SPD could theoretically win the elections.

It won't happen though. It'll be AfD.

There was already a left party in power. It’s called DDR (East Germany). We all know how it ended. Any government with an extremist party is not a good government, regardless it being left or right.

But then again in a democracy the politicians must listen to peoples vote instead of preaching them and if that has happened in Germany, they they would already be having a center right government instead of the current circus

		theres a world of difference between a left party, even radical left like die linke, and ddr style communist dictatorship. and i dont like the greens views on nuclear power but they might be the only one who can save germany from afd fascism and cdu family-values flavored petty authoritarianism. if your definition of center right is fdp then get ready for even more corruption and corporate capture of everything that matters. privatized railways and utilities, anti union laws, unregulated pollution, stagnant wages and the rich getting richer. theres a reason its called the businessmans party. from an outside pov it looks like there is no center right or center left party that cares about both civil rights and working/middle class economic interests. the only "reasonable" option is the radical left. if someone lives in germany and thinks im wrong please correct me.

It won’t but how else does general public signal that they do not want whatever mainstream parties are offering. Any proposals? Democracy isn’t working as intended. Autocracy is unacceptable. So what now?

I don’t think so. But if that’s what the people want who are you or me to question that? It’s the people’s will and democracy in action

Democracy doesn't always lead to what people actually want, in an era of widespread brainwashing.

		And I assume you’re the expert on what’s brain washing and not. According to you anything that doesn’t align with your far left ideologies are brainwashed Nazis right?
