I’ve only lived in Germany for a year and a half so if some more experienced Germans could tell me what I’m missing and explain why things aren’t so bad that would be nice, but it seems like this country is shifting in a negative direction politically from this polling data and it scares me.

If AfD ends up being the second biggest party in the Bundestag next federal election I’ll be quite upset but that’s how it goes I guess.

    That doesn’t seem to be stopping any right-wing voters, many of whom are equally poor.

    Seeing as how so few vote, it most definitely is. That’s partly why neither party will raise the minimum wage at the federal level. The problem is they’re votes are worth more.
