As in, it was 2 major parties and satellite parties that barely made a difference.

??? 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.
