Did not the SPD still understand?

Although the replacement of faces or persons brings a few percentage points, but that's not at all. The legal course of the SPD with its social legislation and the Schröder agenda forces the lower stratum and large sections of the middle class to become left-wing parties. One part is migrating to the right-wing populists, a bourgeois to the Greens and the so-called economic liberals will vote FDP, even if Gabriel wants to push back the influence of Chinese capital. There is no goal, no program for which you should choose SPD. Even for the reception of civil war refugees, you do not need this party, this issue holds the CDU more credible.

As long as the SPD does not distance itself from the neoliberal Schröder agenda, it is dispensable in the political power game.
