The end of the SPD as we know it?

Understanding politics and government-building in Germany can be pretty complicated at times, even for Germans. So that’s why they introduced this colorful color-coding system of theirs here long ago or at least I think that’s why they did although it doesn’t really help much if you ask me but it goes something like this: The CDU is black, the CSU is blue, the FDP is yellow, the Greens are green, the Left is red and the SPD used to be red. And that’s apparently the problem with the SPD these days because they were once red as I said before the Left took their red. Now the SPD has pretty much been demoted from Volkspartei status or soon will be and is more pink than anything else although black and blue would probably be more accurate a term but these colors have already been taken too like I said so they are in quite a dilemma. So it’s the end of the SPD as we know it, and I feel fine. But I’ll have to continue this conversation with myself some other time because I’m in a rush now and I’ve got to run.

Lieber tot als rot als pink.

1 - This country will start to come alive, as soon as everything still blooming on the lefty or righty side has hit rock bottom, meaning 0.0% or when the real working class finally feels it´s money in their pockets (Konjunktur gespürt, taxes down) instead of financing useless vater-staat-socialism. But this won´t be, as there is no color left for any winds of change.
