It's so funny, every political commentator I listen to keeps repeating that pandering to AfD demands will only help the AfD and not the other parties, yet they all keep doing it.

Because all bourgeois parties are effectively the same.

Social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism.

Pandering to the far-right is the only avenue open to bourgeois politicians, as turning to the left (anti-capitalist) is a non starter. All the commentators can do is say "don't do this," while not being able to offer any real alternatives.
