Blame all of it on left, they fucked up badly
You can think whatever you want about left parties, but I'm still going to blame people who voted for fascists for fascists winning the elections.
The problem is that there is no real credible left in Germany. The so-called "center-left" are anything but left in the most important economic aspect, and the economically left parties are rightfully very small, because they are otherwise a very odd bunch ranging from mere Putin bootlickers to outright Stalinists.
I agree with some of what you say, but I think the center-left would probably be seen as more left-leaning if they weren't constantly forced to govern with a neoliberal ankle bracelet on. The popularity of the Greens would also be higher if Conservatives hadn't declared them as their "main adversary" while there are literal fascists sitting in parliament.
We had decades of largely conservative/moderate-right government. So I don't really see how "blame the left" applies.
Oh, is this a funny Lemmy lesson on voting "third party" or not voting at all?
All I see here is that if the more left leading candidate/group isn't perfect, punish them by allowing far right whackos to win
Maybe for not voting at all, but people voting for any left leaning party is a vote against the fascists in a parliamentary system.

I wanted to make an "Electric Boogaloo" joke here, but they all came out horribly.
Maybe with more concentration we could get a joke 🤔
That’s what I was trying to avoid
