It would be helpful if people had more alternatives to vote for, not just one other party that stands for the opposite.

That's for sure, but on the other hand, in many countries the people would choose whoever doesn't normalise (and make) nazi salutes...
It's more nuanced than it might appear at first glance. I recommend watching this video, as it demonstrates the subtle complexities involved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_sVwib2rdE
The current government threatens to invade allies (well, ex allies now) and make nazi salutes, but would still win the election.

And those are only two examples out of many. You can put as much nuance as you want, fascism is fascism.

It would also help if the opposing site had better arguments than calling those they don't like nazis and fascists.
