    If voting is so worthless, why have leaders and tyrants spent so much time suppressing it?

    Also Hitler and his party DID lose in the 1932 election…

      Of course it’s not worthless, but a lot of people seem convinced that because they and their friends are voting a certain way then whole election just has to swing their way.

      That’s why it says “lol you’re finished!” as if he’s actually done something to him directly, instead of saying “I did my civic duty, hopefully my side wins.”

        I did?

        If you’re referring to Hitler coming to power, that wasn’t by a democratic vote but a most-likely staged fire at the Reichstag to scare the people, and Hindenburg, into swearing him into power.

        If I remember correctly but I’m not an expert on the matter of the 1932 election.

          Theyre not referring to hitler coming into power, theyre talking about removing fascists from power, did this sub get hit by an experimental unable-to-read beam?

        By “lose the election,” they meant won the most votes but were unable to form a majority government. Only through other parties/people in power negotiating and allying with Hitler did the Nazis find themselves with some power that enabled them to seize total power.

        He was not a Nazi, but von Hindenburg decided he would rather align with the Nazi Party than allow anyone on the left influence over the government, which sounds a lot like today’s Republican Party.

        If parties on the left had won more votes, Hitler would not have been able to seize power in this way

      What a coincidence. His main rival, the Soviets, also lost their election.
