"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."

    I’m well aware of how the election works. You did not answer my most important question.

    Would you agree with me that if no one voted for Trump, then Trump would not win?

      “No one voting for Trump” is not an option.

        It was a yes or no question. You’re as good at dodging them as politicians! You should run third party. ;)

          Disingenuous questions get the answers they deserve. :)

            I would disagree that it was disingenuous, but i don’t think that will surprise you. Agree to disagree on this one!

      You are putting out a dangerous assumption that the republican party is voting in a rational way.

      They aren’t.
