"Dems of Germany" is very fitting when it comes to the amount of defeatism, being ineffectual and wanting to work across the aisle. ofc it's still Europe, even the SPD is notably to the left of the US Democrats on a lot of stuff. While at the same time being slightly to the right of the Dems on some culture war issues. The differences between liberals and socdems are very marginal, but they're there.
It looked as if the Greens where replacing the SPD for quite a while, and that has already happened among zoomers, but a lot of older voters can't get rid of their sexist, racist, carnist and car culture brainworms, making the Greens too "radical" and "woke" for them. It's that part of reactionary boomer socdems that makes up the core electorate of the SPD.
