    The SPD hasn’t been leftist since Schröder, anyone still voting for them over believing they are has missed way more than one train.

      They haven’t been leftist since they helped the nazis to power almost 100 years ago by now.

        You could argue that, too. But they have been much further left than they are now between the end of WW2 and Schröder.

      There still is a left wing in the party, I would vote for Kühnert if I could.
      But yes, mostly the party is run by conservatives.

        That “left” wing is barely relevant and only very moderately left. What counts is who is running the party, and that have been conservatives and neoliberals since Schröder.
