The first exit polls for the German federal elections are out

Right wing nazi parties are gaining traction all around Europe. Social media has given them a platform where they can make small problems look like big problems. Most of the people voting for them only look at 1 agenda item, which is immigration. Besides that they know jack shit about what these parties are about. If you look at the agenda items, it's all tailored for the elite.

So basically as if Democrats won? then why are people so upset?
I don't think I understand
-
Because this kind of coalition was the definition of stale, boring politics in the past. No innovations, mainly slight adjustments here and there.
During the last time that coalition said something like "Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland." which means something along the line of "The internet is frontier land for all of us." Within seconds #Neuland (frontier land) became the hash tag for a shitstorm that still lasts to this day - after 12 (!) years.
The internet was already established and well in use everywhere for ~20 years. And now the politicians suddenly recognized a new form of communication. If it wasn't so funny I would have cried.That's why everyone is disappointed. Can't wait to hear what stupid shit this goverment will tell us. 🥱

It would be extremist if they do that instead of just telling what they would like to do. Trump tells us he wants to annex Canada and Greenland. Does that make him an extremist too?
-
No, more like if (somehow) George Bush and Trump ran against each other and Bush won.
Its far from a great result but its not as bad as it could've been and, from a European standpoint, it means there's strong opposition to Trump and strong support for Ukraine.

We also got Russia and the US weaponizing social media to support far-right parties. The EU needs to get their shit together.

It's not about fewer parties in elections, it's about fewer parties in Parliament and quickly having a stable government.
Your link is written by an idiot.
In Germany you can still vote for a small party. If enough people do, the party gets 5%, or about 32 seats, which are enough MP's to actually participate in the process without getting burned out.
We could also start in the Netherlands with 2%, which is 3 MP's.
I think 4% (6 MP's) would be better though.

OK, if you're dismissing a source just because it doesn't fit your preconceived notions, even though it's written by someone who's literal job is to research the subject, and provides the numbers to back it up, then I'm not sure what we're doing here.
-
Some people suck at their job.
It is what it is.
In any case, Germany will probably have a government within a month, two if things get crazy.
And that's cold hard facts.

An extremely far right party in ireland got a lot of following on twitter, then in the election about 5 people voted for them. Guess Americans and Russian bots can't vote.
-
Yeah that too.
