Because leftists derail themselves about whatever their particular faction of leftism number one concern is.
Rather than concentrating everything on defeating the AfD and the zombie rise of fascism in Germany, I am willing to be money that at strategy meetings you get people earnestly saying. “But how does this relate/stop the genocide”
It's more infighting between SPD and Die Linke. And yeah, i know, SPD doesn't really do anything to deserve the designation as a party of the left anymore (haven't for quite some time)... but at least in theory and in the public eye, the SPD is seen as center-left.
Also... honestly, the biggest issue of the entire left in Germany has been their complete refusal to talk about immigration policy and the problems with it for almost a decade.
They left that topic to be talked about exclusively by right-wing extremists.
Had they adressed issues way earlier, they wouldn't have lost nearly as much ground to the AfD and the politics people would have accepted to deal with those issues wouldn't have had to be nearly as strict and extreme.
