A record 70% of Germans are dissatisfied with the work of the country's government, according to a new survey conducted by the INSA pollster for German newspaper Bild.
Stupidity and disinformation by conservative media, so same as everywhere else with that problem.
The people saw that it is shit after 16 years of stagnancy (Merkel), the new government had a opposition party directly in the government (don’t ask how that makes sense, only good thing is that the FDP lost a lot of voters for this bullshit) and then voters immediately decided that conservative again is the right way to vote.
germany is not the us. i’m not saying that you can vote communism because any party that’d gain traction in that regard will get outlawed but the spectrum of available parties and possible outcomes of elections can realistically vary between (actual) social democrats and neoliberals. not great, still serves capital, but it’s definetly not like in a 1 party state like the us.
Germany is a dictaorship of the bourgeoisie, spin it anyway you like, voting for progressive reformists will only get you one step forward, and two steps back
you don’t vote your way to communism, communists participating in bourgeois elections only do so to draw attention to the farce, and as you said, it’s literally illegal in germany
This framing incorrectly absolves German voters of their guilt. Unlike in the US, there are actual options in German elections. Instead most voters just choose to stick with the establishment that continues to screw them over. We can have a debate about the role of indoctrination and brainwashing by the media but the fact remains that the voters are culpable, just like most Germans were culpable for the Nazi regime remaining in power for as long as it did.
Then why did you vote for it?

No it doesn’t make sense to me either
They absolutely had better options to vote for.
Because you can only vote for servants of the bourgeoisie.

i´m not denying this at all, i´m totally with you. my point was just that the enshittification process can be slowed significantly
