See, now that's interesting. There was only one major organized movement around a policy change during the election, and it wasn't about the timing of implementing fascism.
And it lost, as the policy did not change.
Even today the losing party is taking the Whig party strategy of trying to avoid the issue. The Whigs famously failed as a party and ultimately allowed Slavery to spiral as an issue until America Civil Warred over it.
