The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work
They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first
The moral here isn't to tell the truth
It's to never co-operate with Nazis
