You may have heard that the extreme right party AFD, known for their fascist, racist, climate-denying politics, won the elections in Saxsony-Anhalt in Germany. Often we hear the fallacy that if "non-voters don't vote" they are responsible that bad governments are elected. Well it turns out that a lot of non-voters decided to vote this time, and most of their votes went to the AFD. Even in larger proportion than in the total results. #afd #democracy https://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/afd-mobilisiert-nichtwahler-und-fast-zwei-drittel-der-arbeiter-in-sachsen-anhalt-wahlen-afd-16023910.html
