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.”

    Bernie lost in the same way the Republican party shafted the primary against Teddy Roosevelt. If you have the apparatus you are the kingmaker.

    Bernie didnt play their game, Hillary had control of the game. From easy primary questions to ‘voting’ groups falling inline with Clinton by the democratic party.

    Undemocratic primaries are a systemic failure of the American voting system.
