"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."

    Yet you came to the conclusion somehow that I don’t vote and encourage others not to vote… Okay mate, we will need to disagree on this one.

      Two, can we stop this lie? Only a vote for Trump is a vote for Trump.

      You telling others incorrect information, and encouraging others not to vote.

        What? How am I encouraging others not to vote?? I cannot state in any more clear terms: I think that everyone should vote, every citizen has a responsibility to vote.
