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.”

I mean, I covered that in the comment. I wasn't only saying it about this link and this quote.

I still say that Harris doesn't have the chops for the job, and my vote would be against trump, not for her. She's a slimy careerist. Maybe she would surprise me, and I would be happy as horsesjit to have a woman in the seat, I just don't think she's the one that should be in it at all.

Biden, and I'm not a Biden fan either, at least has a pretty good ability to delegate and that's all he needs to do for the next four. Pick good people, maintain the presidency's legitimacy, and not fuck things up.

And I genuinely believe that she would get otherwise lazy voters out for trump. You can't underestimate the christo-fascist hatred of women and allowing one in office would pull some of them out of the woodwork that would otherwise feel safe.
