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.
