People struggling financially have voted predominantly for the AfD in recent elections.
Not in Berlin. The Left put socializing corporate landlords on the ballot, and won the election and this group.

Hear me out... the bigger story is the doubling of votes for the Left Party in Berlin, not the entirely predictable rise of the AFD in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
