@carlosf02267237 @Sr_GomasII Kazajistan y Mongolia estan en etapas diferentes de la transicion demografica (y sus tasas de natalidad igual han caido) y en Israel quienes mas tienen hijos son los haredies (los ultraortodoxos que no trabajan)

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@ConspiracyBull1 when you take into account that the core base of support for AfD comes from former GDR citizens (ostalgie is a hell of a drug i have read) then it makes more sense

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@DanielDiMartino This shouldn't surprise anyone, the party's base and main voting bloc comes from the elderly population of eastern Germany (the former GDR), Ostalgie is one hell of a drug

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

Tanto asi que votaban por Die Linke, los herederos de Honecker y Ulbricht, es un fenomeno conocido como Ostalgie

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

Si hay nostalgia, pero no del tercer reich, la base de votantes de AfD es la poblacion envejecida de la antigua RDA; por eso propuestas absurdas como que el ruso se enseñe en los colegios, asi era en la epoca comunista

[Felipe Galli @FEscrutinio]

Los tipos en su campaña cantan el himno de la Alemania del Este comunista, CLARAMENTE la cuestión en torno a AfD es muchísimo más compleja que una facción de militantes nostálgicos del nazismo o el hecho de que es el partido más a la derecha del país. Va más allá.

@david121spain @rafael_nacher Empezando por el euro, son casi de 30 años de esta moneda, y las consecuencias serian desastrosas si se salen de eso

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@laderechadiario No se de que futuro hablan? la poblacion joven en ese estado es apenas el 10% del total (la edad promedio es 48 años) todo ese caudal de votos es en gran parte a los mayores de 50 años

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@wassloss @njasalander @StefanFSchubert that 31% AfD gained with voters over 70 is far heavier than the 42% gained with 18-29 voters

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@wassloss @njasalander @StefanFSchubert Yeah but due to the state's (and country's) median age being high, that 30-60 bracket skews more to 60 than 30, and a majority of boomers might not be into AfD but they are such a big bloc that just a "small" chunk is more than enough to make the party relevant

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@njasalander @wassloss @StefanFSchubert This is something that is rarely discussed, so much talk about "youth" yet the strength of parties like AFD comes from old people

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@AlanPavelin @BenGrahamUK And it is the oldest state in the country, median age is almost 50

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@ColeSandick To begin with, African Americans are a relatively young bloc (median age is 35 if I am not mistaken) people like Jeffries and Clyburn are disconnected even on that metric (Jeffries is 56 and Clyburn is 86)

@supadjdnb @leo80209013 @BookerGWash All these people know is to punch left and appeal to republicans as much as possible, that is how it has been since the 90s with Clinton and triangulation; but times have changed, whether the triangulators want to accept it or not

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@supadjdnb @leo80209013 @BookerGWash They just can't accept that trying to "discipline" the left like in the past doesn't work anymore, 2016 and 2024 are proof of how that can backfire

@LuniaLuniab @ekbufalo El chavismo no va a resurgir, el nivel de destruccion y de trauma que han dejado al pais no se borra asi de simple, como paso en Europa del Este tras el fin del comunismo, los tiempos han cambiado

@luisesgo Esto no es lo mismo que han querido hacer en España la izquierda y los separatistas, darle tratamiento especial a las "naciones historicas"? nuestra constitution al fin y al cabo fue redactada por PODEMOS

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@AlfredoUlpio Y lo mas ironico es que los Castro tienen ciudadania española, el padre de estos sujetos era un gallego que migro a Cuba tras la guerra del 98 si mal no recuerdo

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@brent858 I would say that what is required are young faces and new ideas, Markey is an exception who (like Bernie) represents new ideas in spite of being old, Moulton is the opposite (young face but old ideas)

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@ltWasRed Like in their minds the US is a permanent center right country where the median voter is an anti tax and anti city suburbanite who would vote for Reagan in a landslide again if given the chance, even though the country and society have changed a lot since then

[Juan Martinez @Juan15491]

@ltWasRed Because they don't know any better, there is an entire generation of democratic politicians who were raised under this "dogma" (we need to punch left and appeal to republicans as much as possible, if we don't we lose), the only solution is to replace them
