    That is such a bullshit point. “The youth” doesn’t want one homogeneous thing. The youth is just as diverse in opinions as other cohorts, maybe even more so. It is also more likely to be on more radikal Sides of the political spectrum.

      Also, is this another example of “90% of the people who voted AfD were men,” and then opposite them you’ll have the far left getting 90% women?

        Not in this specific age group. Overall men are overrepresented, not by 90% but they are, but less so in younger people

      Yes, they do not want one thing. But that is what they appeal to.

      Talking to the emotion of teen, completely contradicting themself, just to get some popularity point. I think this is called popularism, but not sure.

      Also afd is extremely radical, so that fit.

        While I guess that’s true and it’s often surprising that the AfD is polling that well in the younger cohorts let’s not overstate their success. There are also a lot of people in that cohort very vehemently disagreeing with the AfD.

          Not saying they successful. They just seem like only party that actually try to talk to teen on their level. Still complete bullshit though.

          I hope other party start taking teen more seriously.
