Abigail Disney, the granddaughter to Roy O. Disney, who cofounded The Walt Disney Company, told CNBC on Thursday that she plans to withhold donations to the party she has funded for years until Biden drops out. The president has said he has no plans to withdraw from the race, despite calls for him to do so.
“I intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of the ticket. This is realism, not disrespect. Biden is a good man and has served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high,” Abigail Disney said in a lengthy statement to CNBC. “If Biden does not step down the Democrats will lose. Of that I am absolutely certain. The consequences for the loss will be genuinely dire.”
Anyone else, next question.
Alternately: If your car is acting up you don’t take it to the mechanic and tell them the specific issue and exactly how to fix it, then hand the wrench to them and maybe also hold the flashlight. You say, “shits making a clunk noise” or whatever. You did your part when you saw the problem and brought it in to be fixed.
edit: lotta downvotes but no one able to articulate a counterpoint 🤔
Or, it’s more like being on a roller coaster and hearing a clank noise.
You report it, and hope the company fixes it.
You don’t own the roller coaster. You aren’t responsible for the roller coaster.
But it’s a better roller coaster than the other one on the park, so that why you pay to ride it.
