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.”
Oh, come on. You can’t justify a corrupt process by pointing to the final results of the corrupt process.
No but I can justify a democratic process by pointing to the much much higher number of people voting for the candidate who won.
…In an unfair election with the organizing body tipping the scale all throughout the process. So no, you can’t point to the votes to wave away the corruption that influenced those votes.
Lmao
You need to grapple with this and figure out how to acknowledge the damage the DNC did to the party in 2016. You are only continuing to hurt party unity by pretending it didn’t happen.
I’m not saying Bernie would definitely have won or anything. Chances are Hillary would have won in a fair election anyway. I’m saying the people were robbed of a fair election so we can’t know what would have happened. If you’re truly interested in justifying democracy you should be outraged by that rather than denying it.
But sure, a pithy “lmao” definitely does the trick too.
*Lmao that resulted in Trump being president
*Lmao, that user thinks people selecting a leader through voting is corrupt/undemocratic
People are selecting from candidates chosen by two private parties. “You’ll vote for who we tell you to vote for” isn’t very democratic.
People are selecting candidates chosen by primary elections. It’s a democratic process.
Oh yeah? Who were our options this go around?
That’s like claiming McDonalds makes the best burger because they sell the most.
You’re literally making an argument against bare definition democracy, right now.
Sure thing, buddy.
