Let's hope so, the only other potential outcome is a center right far right coalition, since our leftist parties are pretty much as dead as in the united states. They exist on paper, but even the most "radical" ones are still capitalist.

A coalition with the Greens could happen too. But there's zero chance of a coalition between CDU and AfD in this election. Not so sure about the one after though.

There was also zero chance that Trump would get elected, but here we are and he gets a second term.
