What one can say....is that both commercial and public TV went as far as they could....to ensure there's only a political debate between the CDU-CSU (1st place in polling) and the SPD (3rd place in polling). The desire to have the AfD and Greens debate? Yeah, you can make that case. BSW, Linke and FDP? More or less left out of the public viewing.
I suspect what they don't want is some 7-way debate, where you have a rather confusing chat-session.
The fact that neither the Greens, the SPD, or the CDU-CSU want to engage with the AfD folks? Yeah....that does stand out a good bit.
In the end, I suspect what you get is a 45-minute session between two moderators and one party.....repeated so that all seven get a chance to explain their agenda.
The use of Twitter to get the agenda out? If I were a political party....I'd have a fresh new 3-minute conversation via Tik Tok and Twitter.

AfD needs to follow Trump's example. He realized that our legacy media & legacy social media sites was in the tank for the Democrats. The Trump campaign mounted a media blitz over multiple alternative news and social media sites and even created one, Truth Social. It cost a fraction of the billion dollars that the Democrats spent on our legacy media. More importantly, the message got through.
If AfD really wanted to have fun, they could mount a samizdat campaign posting stickers with QR codes linked to embarrassing news articles that the German legacy media is ignoring. Just paste stickers in public places. Mix in advertising for local businesses to confuse surveillance. For instance, if they want to drive the Greens buggy, paste links to https://klimanachrichten.de & https://blackout-news.de.
AfD has one significant issue....they are running two agendas for the most part....bring back the D-Mark (dumping the Euro), and dump mass migration. If you test a hundred AfD voters....these are the only two that they can readily name. If you ask the general public....they will throw out energy costs, woeful economy, aging infrastructure, the environment, tax reform, etc. For this reason, there is a public sentiment brewing that AfD isn't ready for the situation. At best. I'd say they can achieve around a 18-to-22 percent vote in the election.
I'd also say this 2025 election is a totally different than in 2021....with the war effect, energy worries, and the sliding economy.
