I think they have at least some solutions, but not the kind of solution I like and support.
They seem to offer answers, very simple ones at that. But none of them are solutions to the actual problems.
That's usually what nationalistic, right wings parties do. They create an enemy that anyone can relate to like immigrants and make this their main narrative.
Second, they offer simple solutions to complex problems that will not work for the most part, but most people can understand these solutions.
Third, and that's especially true for the afd, they were never part of a government yet, meaning they couldn't screw anything up yet so there's little to hold against them in terms of bad decisions that had even worse outcomes.
Fourth, the afd doesn't have to face reality because they are not the responsible part of the government. They can cherry pick their favorite topics, be against anything, denounce everything the government is doing as bullshit and casually avoid any other unpleasant topic.
