Living in Europe this is fairly easy te remember. None of the choices are great, but they definitely exist.
Yeah, it’s a choice among:
all out evil
Definitely evil, but still pretending to be good. (Weirdly,they’re the only capable party, and though at least half of the stuff they champion is awful, the amount of things they get done that aren’t evil is somehow still larger than whatever good any less evil party can get done. It’s still not worth it, to be clear, it’s just a shitty quirk of this political climate.)
Doesn’t yet realize they’re evil, but they are
Half good hearted but misguided, half foreign agents trying to sow discord
Great except for one issue, will never get a high portion of the vote
Great all around, will really never get a high portion of the vote
Guess the country and guess the parties for a sense of being quick on the uptake and in on the joke.
hint for the last two
I’m in favor of giving Ukraine weapons and pro European unityMy guess
GermanyDo The Left support Israel? Because that’s not great all around.

Nope, they don't and they are extremely under attack by the media for it.
Edit: To clarify, they're also only coming around to it very slowly and late, so now both sides dislike them. It's a weird place to be for many german leftist who have defended Israel against far-right antisemitic (inaccurate) propaganda for years, while also continuously sticking up for the Palestinians and leveling accurate allegations at the israeli government.
Non-muslim pro-palestinian movements in Germany have their roots deep inside the left political spectrum but have had a hard time getting anywhere politically because any allegation of antisemitism amounted to political suicide and Germans would tuck tails and run as soon as any israeli rightwinger would use the antisemitism-cudgel. The fear to be called a Nazi is rooted extremely deep in our society, because it's seen as a stain you can never ever get rid of again once those allegations have been made and it is deeply drilled into each and everyone of us, that being seen as a Nazi is about the worst thing you can be, forever and always.
Pretty close- maybe I should have mentioned being bitter about our anachronistic coal usage in the spoiler. I didn’t include BSW, so it goes afd, cdu, spd, greens, die linke, and volt, though I would also put BSW in that category with the greens
Sooooo... which half of the Greens are "foreign agents trying to sow discord"?
The ones encouraging ineffective but irritating eco vandalism- it doesn’t do much to help, but makes others less likely to support them, further splintering the non-evil voting bloc
Would be my guess as well, though I'm unsure about the CDU/CSU getting more good stuff done than other less shitty parties. The last administration did pretty well mostly thanks to the Greens even though the media kept bashing it to no end, and I do not want to imagine a world with a CxU/SPD coalition during the chaos after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Also I think The Left is far less likely to get a significant share of votes than the Greens.
