The Whig party died because it failed to address the whig voters’ concerns over slave states. The Whigs in charge were too busy trying to find a moderate choice between traditional whig and democratic policies since the Whigs consisted of both northern and southern slave states and were too spineless to pick a side. Zachary Taylor (W), who had never voted or voiced his political opinion prior to running, won the nomination because whig voters in the convention thought being a middle ground candidate was enough to win. And he did win, but…

After Zachary Taylor was president, Winfield Scott (W), who was running a diet-democratic campaign seeing how it worked with Taylor, was running against Franklin Pierce (D), a dark horse candidate who wasn’t even in the running until the 35th ballot at a stalled democratic convention. Scott, having lost the anti-slavery voters of the northern states, had an enthusiasm issue so big that people of the time regard this is one of the least exciting campaigns in presidential history. After Pierce won the election 254 electoral votes to 42, Free Soil and ex-Whig voters coalesced into the republican party. The whig party had been killed.

If your party isn’t giving what people are pleading for or isn’t a real opposition party, it’s easier killing the party and starting fresh with something better than trying to lure the lost party back to your own values. And if we’re already putting forth all that effort to build up a new party when one dies, why not be cool and make a revolutionary vanguard party instead of filling the vacuum in bourgeois elections?

Gotta use a brick because Mr Evrart is helping me find my gun.

Scratch a fascist and a liberal will shout “HEY CUT THAT OUT”

Washing denim and linen together is risky though.

I don’t know who you’re responding to, but it sure is smelly over here.

Technology Connections and his stranglehold on dishwasher conversations lol

Barely anyone from Nevada pronounces their state name correctly.

I use an Aergrind by Knock ($150ish). It’s been fantastic for my Flair as well as pour overs. It is a manual grinder, but I don’t have the money to not do manual.

So glad actual hitler was defeated by voting against him.

The people who make compromises with the Nazis have convinced you that voting is the most important and only tool at your disposal.

I swear, I feel like I’ve watched (or have shown off to people unfamiliar with dropout) A Game Most Changed like 5 times.

Or if they’re straight, Sam Says. Lol

True, it’s likely too early to tell. I think I just inadvertently compare them to all the other streaming services right now. As for the price increase, that’s only for new subscribers- existing subscribers are grandfathered in at the previous price.

Creative reuse are where people can donate their old art supplies and you can also go and buy old art supplies for cheap. Everything is used or old. The concept of this kind of store seems to be a pretty new-ish thing that has been popping up and I have seen some in rural locations. I tend to buy canvases that have already been painted on and just paint over what’s already on it. Theres also a ton of cheap fiber arts supplies you can buy for cents. I got a Canon AE-1 and like 8 rolls of expired film there for $30 too.

But it will be difficult to find high end stuff there unless you go every day and wait around for someone to donate it (with no guarantee of that actually happening). Paintbrushes and oil paints, I’d choose blick.

*expensive art supplies. It’s always worth looking to see if you have a creative reuse center nearby.

Iskall85 was getting insufferable long before the allegations tbh. He handled valid critique in the most arrogant way possible.

Jesus Christ reading comprehension

Sure looks like the left has been growing in numbers from my time in leftist orgs. I’m also not sure the likelihood of the heritage foundation taking a chance on accidentally initiating Black Panthers 2.0 in the US.

Just because you don’t agree with people on this platform, you should probably understand that lemmy, a place that can’t be swayed by an algorithm controlled by billionaires, and notably created by communist developers, would attract other communists here. You came into our space questioned our legitimacy here. The fuck

They can see it and know they’re responsible. They just gaslight us and pretend to be oblivious because it’s a crucial part of their class war.
