Another AfD candidate found dead. How many of the other parties have had even one die?

Usually it’s the voters dropping dead, not the candidates.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the primary determination of the Bundestag breakdown done via Parliamentary voting for the parties, and not the individual candidates? Like they have some hybrid system where the voters get some autonomy in choosing their district rep (if hie party gets enough seats), but the total breakdown of the government is done via a separate, national vote by party?

Did they dust off the heart attack gun?

Follow up question is if these guys had any shot of even winning their local election.

This seems like misplaced dot connecting

It is quite a big coincidence.

I’m 60 and have had 3 out of 200 high school classmates die of natural causes over the past 10 years. Two were from bad lifestyle choices and the other was from the OG COVID. I say that to say “ain’t no way.”

I think it is a warning to the other AfD candidates to behave when they get elected.

What a moronic comment. If 7 Democrats running for state house died in Alabama in the weeks leading up to an election, do you think it might look a bit odd. I mean, yes, they most likely had no chance of winning, but the odds of 7 from the same party - all within a few weeks of each other?

So why would they be killed?

What is the logic behind it?

I’m pretty sure the answer is no (big disclaimer: that is according to their media). However, the AfG candidates are increasingly gaining in popularity, so it’s completely feasible that “the powers that be” would benefit by intimidation.

You think 7 candidates dropping dead all within the same few days from exactly ONE party is purely coincidental? That's pretty crazy

I didn't say that, but I'm examining this logically.

To create the conspiracy, you need something logical to form the basis. That "why" has yet to be described.

The candidates are largely irrelevant, though. This isn't a SMD election like we have in the US or UK. The total representation in the Bundestag isn't static and the national election determines the proportion of each party. That's done by voting for parties, not persons.

This is getting ridiculous. What a scam by the globalists to keep Germany under its thumb and keep the nato war in Ukraine going.

I think we have to see the polls and see if they really have any chance of winning or no chance.

Also, if they're dead, they're not out campaigning and maybe persuading others to vote for their platform.

There are still benefits to intimidation / suppression of a movement.
