I’m Not With Her

“I’m With Him”?

A little history lesson, for those who think voting for the "lesser evil" is a successful strategy. A lesson for those who are terrified of Trump. The SPD noted here were the German social democrats, sort of the left liberals of their time:

"[In 1932] The SPD regarded Hindenburg as the only man who could defeat Hitler and keep the Nazi Party from winning the elections (and they said so throughout the campaign)..... In the runoff election of April 1932, Hindenburg defeated Hitler for the presidency....Finally, the 85-year-old Hindenburg agreed to make Hitler chancellor, and on the morning of 30 January 1933, Hindenburg swore him in as chancellor at the presidential palace."

Sure, history never repeats itself.

    1. I have no regrets. What I wrote here is still true: http://thecahokian.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-parable-of-buffet.html

      Clinton was a nightmare of support for war, coups, racism, big corporations, corruption, with a record of shitting on gay people. Fortunately we will never know how bad her presidency would have been. Fuck both her and Trump.
