This analogy would work if the full Nazi group wasn't already in power starting wars and running camps.
Both Nazi groups were starting wars and running camps. You should be outraged but youβre too busy defending one lot of murderers because they murder slightly less.
Right.
Correction: starting more wars, AND succeeding in them.
And the other group was not running death camps. My Hispanic family and friends didn't have to worry that they'll be detained with papers at least under Biden, or Obama. That doesn't mean those presidents weren't promoting an oligarchy, or didn't make it worse. But it did mean my parents etc could at least go vote for a more progressive candidate without the chance of being detained.
But hey, you go be a dumbass if you want. Doubt y'all will have legitimate elections over there anymore anyway. I moved away long ago seeing potential allies like you were too stupid to see the forest for the trees and everyone else was even worse off. There was no hope for that sinking ship, and seeing Lemmy fall for the same dumbass propaganda (that's already been revealed to be perpetuated by Russia and Israel) come election time shows nothing has changed.
PS: the literal Nazis promoted 3rd party voting once they were gaining majorities too. Maybe you should look up why that's when they started to, and why they wanted to promote that, during that point in time.
The Weimar Republic had a multiparty, parliamentary system. There was no "third party" there were just "parties." The Nazis always supported "third party voting" (if you mean voting for a minority party) because they were a new party trying to attract votes.
Is this claim actually tethered to reality in some way?
They had "multiparty" much like Canada does currently by the time the Nazis were a majority party.
As in, it was 2 major parties and satellite parties that barely made a difference. They just needed a bit of extra support to get the super majority, and to achieve this they got people to vote for the minority party which supported them, and ran propaganda to get people to vote for a minority party that was unpopular instead of their main opposition to divide the opposition vote.
So to reiterate the point, "third party" doesn't mean literally "a third party", much like in the USA it doesn't either; there's technically also other parties than just Democrats or Republicans, like the Green party and the Libertarian party. And much like the Nazis did, the Republicans supported and welcomed in the Libertarians while launching propaganda to divide votes from the Democrats to the Green party (the Green party itself likely compromised) in past elections.
??? Which were the two major parties, and which were the ones that barely made a difference? Can you be specific? I literally have no idea what you're talking about.
The governing coalition was led by the SDP but also included several center-right parties which exerted influence by keeping the SDP from enacting any significant reforms to address the economic crisis. The worsening conditions and uncontrolled unemployment hurt the popularity of the coalition, and led to people moving to the far-left KPD and far-right Nazis. As it became impossible to maintain that coalition government, the SDP and their partners endorsed Hindenburg for president as a "lesser evil" to stop Hitler, and they got what they wanted except that Hindenburg then appointed Hitler as chancellor which allowed him to seize power.
You seem to be projecting modern day US politics into the situation because you're too lazy to actually learn about or understand the situation.
