157. But even in this extreme example, holding off fascist rule with an ugly coalition has value
The SPD as you say was extremely reactionary, but the ultimate in reactionary policies will always be the specialty of true fascists. The Democrats aren't as bad on the SPD, and the GOP is far worse than either. Rather than go the Nader route of "look how much Reagan did for the environmental movement!" while ignoring the systemic damage Reagan did to all our branches of government, we should put off or defeat -true- fascists in every way we can. If we had IRV, a viable third party, or a responsible media, we'd have other options. Right now, we just have the Democrats if we want to keep GOP asses out of seats of power.
