Opposing soneone is not unusual in Germany. Supporting one person or party is what does not happen here.
I'm not a fan of the orange one... Just telling about the German view on this..
Kind of a weird stance to find opposing someone fine but supporting someone bad. Not accusing anything, I just find that weird thinking.
If the one you oppose is classified as far right and you print facts about them or quotes in your newspaper, it's still something different than endorsing a specific party or person, IMO..
We also had good and bad ads for some parties, but when it comes to only what the writers think, endorsing a specific party is just not happening like in the USA...
With 2 parties supporting the other is the only way that you oppose the one.
The only way that you effectively oppose the other
You can always vote third party if you want to pay lip service while helping the candidate you dislike
Voting third party in a first past the post system with only 2 dominant parties not only throws away your vote. If your preference is Third party Harris Trump you are actually helping Trump win when you vote third party instead of the person who actually has a chance.
