    You sound a lot like the German communists in 1932, refusing to support the liberals even though they had more seats in the Reichstag than the conservatives or the fascists. How did that work out for them?

      It was the liberals electing someone that capitulated to Hitler that was the problem. How did that work out for them?

        The liberals did not elect Hitler. The conservatives did. The liberals failed to form a government because the next 3 largest parties, the conservatives, fascists, and the communists, refused to form a coalition with them.

        Then the opportunity arrose for the next largest party, the conservatives, to form a government, and they did so with the fascists.

          Liberals elected Hindenburg, as the lesser evil, who gave us Hitler.

          The lesson here is there is no such thing as a lesser evil, only evil
