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 disagree, being complicit in genocide and pretending you can still stand for something is exceptionally stupid.

Regardless, you can't win an election without the anti-genocide contingent, so you should instead focus your criticisms on those committing the genocide and trying to extort voters into supporting it.

Luckily the anti-genocide demographic of the party hasn't backed down and the pressure they helped create might actually get Biden to step down at this point. It wouldn't have been a possibility if people caved on genocide like you think they should've. Democratic conservatives know they've over-extended themselves thinking theu could still do the same old "lesser evil" schtick and now they're scrambling to do their job.
