Why are the goalposts getting randomly nudged around? First it was

>A party that wants to get rid of the system that enabled them to get voted for in the first place is anti-democratic.

Then it was

>fearmongering, calling the current government a "cartel",

And now you're saying

>abolish core concepts of the democracy or constitutionally guaranteed rights

In other words, it went from "afd wants to get rid of democracy" to "afd's policies breaks the constitution". Of course you guys are different people and are entitled to your own opinions, but it's tiring arguing on a slippery topic that keeps on getting redefined.

Nobody is nudging anything.

If you wish to quote me, then do it accordingly: the AfD is blaming the established democratic processes for the current "cartel" situation. As if that's the only thing to blame, and not that the AfD is not willing to collaborate with other democratic parties or even respect the democratic process.

You are right, my answer didn't account for the specific citation you were answering to. Sorry.
