Sounds like somebody's using the same political advisors as the Mexican politicians controlled by the cartels.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

They have something like 20,000 candidates for this election. Most of whom are older. 7 out of 20k is not nearly as alarming. Context matters.

20,000? I'd like to see a link that backs that up.

Yeah but it's kind of like Hilldawg saying "Bill and I have thousands of friends. So the fact that a small handful of them committed suicide by two bullets in the back of the head is no big deal."

The best way to keep evil men from wielding great power is to not create great power in the first place.

Not sure about 20,000 but Germany has dozens and dozens of political parties.

. . . North Rhine-Westphalia is Germany's third-largest state by area and has a population of more than 18 million.

More than 20,000 people are running for seats in the state. . . .

From the article we're up to 16 deceased, albeit across all parties.

so how many candidates do the other parties have and how many of their candidates have deceased ahead of the election?

This is what we need to know. Also need to remember that white conservatives are usually in better physical and mental condition than white liberals.

Liberals are FAR more prone to mental illness.

20K my ass. reeks of all the hundreds (or thousands) of MDs that were signing petitions to get ivermectin banned 5 years ago. turns out, most never even existed.

typical obfuscation that the parliamentary system is known for.

Great. Just the thought about the potential for a communist assassin running around Europe executing conservative political candidates has the communists super erect about Jason Bourne now.

Difference with Mexico is these are cartel members running for public offices killing other cartel members doing the same.

From the article I linked 9 from other parties. An AfD branch said there was no reason to view the deaths as anything other than coincidence, which isn't really very helpful for prevailing sentiment here.

Quote:
. . .
On 3 September, the AfD branch in Remscheid told Politico that their candidate for Kremenholl was an 80-year-old who died of natural causes after a long illness.

Kay Gottschalk, the AfD state vice-president, said on Politico's "Berlin Playbook" podcast that there was no reason to view the deaths as anything other than a coincidence.

Nevertheless, it is planned to examine the cases "without immediately getting into conspiracy theory territory," he said.

This looks like another case where the conspiracy theorists have pretty good odds of being right again. Not guaranteed, but decent for placing wagers.

nothing to see here. aside from communists, globalist socialist elites and bureaucrats, or any of the billions of people around the world brainwashed by their psyops and big government-controlled pravda media, no one would want to kill conservatives.
