It shouldn’t. They did so poorly because 10% of the German electorate shifted even farther to the far right AfD, and another 10% had already done so in previous elections.
Don’t confuse the electorate shifting with non-voters turning up to give a finger to the whole system, that’s the AfD’s biggest gain. This shit will continue until rent becomes affordable again or another party manages to capture the same vote.
thank you, this makes me feel better
