So what you're saying is that AfD is basically the same as all the other parties. Like, you just identified that Die Linke offers nothing good and has a strong emotive appeal to the middle class, but you didn't say it in those words, you said those words about AfD instead. You said Green has emotiove appeal but offers nothing good but is bad because they oppose nuclear, well that is better than AfD which offers nothing good but has emotive appeal but is bad because they oppose people being allowed to exist. So what is the actual difference?

AfD is not the same as other parties. It is a far-far worse thing. Other parties are simply incompetent at both execution and selling, so it leads to inordinate delays when we need fast action.

But whatever their themes we probably want those ideas - renewables, environmental concerns, cost-of-living, worker equality etc. - just with an appropriate dose and at appropriate time. My sphere is too limited to know answers to those questions. But I can see that Greens (esp Habeck) wasted a huge amount of hard-won political capital rooting for heat pumps or on sticking caps with bottles, when we were facing catastrophic effects of a European war.

AfD is selling hatred and once that becomes mainstream, it will take decades before it could be rooted out, if at all. Last time it took a world war and still some of it remained, AfD does not have any ideas on fixing any of the problems.

Heck, no political party has even correctly identified the issues, forget fixing them. Their attitude is to displease existing voter base as little as possible, change as little, which from a politicians perspective is understandable. But from a nations perspective we are losing precious time and squandering our resources.
