"Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst Thälmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, Thälmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis. Thälmann famously said that ‘some Nazi trees must not be allowed to overshadow a forest’ of social democrats, whom he sneeringly called ‘social fascists.’

After Adolf Hitler gained power in 1933, Thälmann was arrested. He was shot on Hitler’s orders in Buchenwald concentration camp in 1944."

    Multiple people have explained all of it to you in this post and others. You are refusing to listen. I’m done with you, I’m sorry but you’re either extremely naive or you’re willfully being an idiot. Either way you’re annoying to talk to.

      if you think you have a coherent explanation how third party is throwing ones vote away i’ll ilsten.

      it seems like most people rely on “your party can’t win” and dont engage with how there are effects outside winning involved with american elections. i also get a lot of accusations of helping trump win that break down under the slightest questioning.

              Do you think effects outside of winning a particular race are made up?

              Do you think the way to build representation is to work at the grassroots level except for in elections?

                    How do you seriously ignore everyone that’s responded to you with facts about how the presidential election works? Do you cover your eyes and not read anything at all or something?

                    Seriously, how is it possible for you to be as dense and willfully ignorent as you are?
