People viewing Nazis as the lesser evil and willing to enable them are only moderately less worse than proper nazis and no less dangerous.

According to current polls, more than 20% are willing to vote for an openly xenophobic, extreme right party of nazi-sympathizers, science deniers and reactionaries. They want to deny basic rights of queers and people with disabilities and call for ceasing to support Ukraine and dropping Russian sanctions. The currently strongest polling party, the center-right CDU, had for a long time been fundamentally opposed to working with the far right, but are now getting more cosy with them, seemingly testing the waters on local and state levels.

So yeah, unless that somehow sounds like a good direction for Germany to move in, “left-leaning” would unfortunately be an optimistic misjudgement of the current state of affairs.

The chancellor’s party is center-left in the typical European social democrat way, he himself is more of a moderate. But the current coalition polls at around 40%, so calling Germany very left-leaning is a very optimistic statement.

That fact is no fun at all :(
