To: Moltke

My favorite is the one for the Marxistisch-Leninistische Partei Deutschlands I saw in Ecterdingen. It proudly displayed a picture of Lenin and a call for revolution. It was almost quaint. I may take it as a souvenir after the election.

As for the AfD, their internal infighting and unforced errors by candidates have compounded the hostility from the media and establishment. Instead of unifying and pitching a coherent and appealing message, they backstab each other and played into the establishment’s attempts to marginalize them.

They need to cut the crap out an focus on winning votes. We’ll see how they do this time out, but I don’t see them getting the 5% threshold for a party seat in the Bundestag.

Ah, that’s what MLPD stands for...I’ve seen a few of their revolution posters but never looked to closely.

I agree with your take on the AfD. Why oh why must they do that?

PS: I see reports placing the AfD around 10%...?

Here’s at least one AfD candidate being sensible and calling for Merkel’s prosecution:

(This is from pretty much the only publication (never mind the silly name) that I give clicks to. Their articles are mostly sane. Too bad there’s no English version that could be posted here to dispel the usual naysayers.)
