Nun, ja. Spannendere Frage ist, ob Wagenknecht sich komplett zurückzieht. Könnte das Ende der Partei bedeuten, da ein großer Teil das BSW nur wegen ihr unterstützt. Überstrahlt sogar die inhaltlichen/positionellen Korrelationen

Once again, I ask what anyone has seen, at this point, to make them really believe that the 2026/28 elections are going to be free, fair, & competitive. Who is going to stop Trump from simply declaring the results of blue states invalid for "pro-terrorist conduct" or some other invented reason?

-BSW voters tend to be left-nationalist
-Depending on prior party support, either nationalist or economically left-wing positions predict switching to BSW
