    She tries to ally with the popular right to create a strong left movement. That didn't work when the KPD worked together with right leaning unions in Weimar and doesn't work now.

    Sarah got less than 3% of the vote and the worst results in her district in years, while districts that embraced intersectionality, working with projects like DWEnteignen (expropriation of commercial landlords), with a hint of class based internalism got stark increases of votes.
