A party ban in germany results also in a pohibition to form follow up parties. That’s why we should aim for the party and not single members
Yes - but if leading AfD figures were stripped of their right to vote, then such ruling would hit that person _regardless_ of which party he or she¹ is in. And it would also prevent those people from running as independent candidates. So I think going after individuals vs. going after parties is not an either-or. It would make sense to do both.

¹ I don’t think AfD has enby members.

What does that have to do with anything?
I wrote “he or she”. @MaggiWuerze
Ah, that footnote was not rendered properly in my app. Thought it was just a random statement
Same here, the same people couldn’t run again but they asked all their supporters to vote for a specific candidate with a clean rep but essentially a puppet
@MaggiWuerze @Zer0_F0x thats right but does really someone believe, that this won’t happen? There are members of the afd who are clever enough to form a new party thats just “new enough” to be legaly not a follow up party. I don’t think we will get rid of this party or to be more clear, of that spirit that lives within this party. Especially with the CDU/CSU at the moment, which is doing everything at the moment to destroy the trust in the democratic partys and this system.
I usually assume left people to be smarter than people from the right wing, yet the communist party has not been able to reform in almost 70 years
