This is the actual reason that some people are telling Biden to drop out

3. Yeah, all those Democratic donors contributed in 2008, 2016, 2020, up to June 2024, and

during midterms to the Party that supports fair/progressive taxation and new programs, then suddenly decided they would no longer do that because taxes might increase. I just don’t believe that is true for the vast majority of these donors.

4. They have the mistaken idea that they can disenfranchise we the people.

BTW, they're a drop in the bucket compared to the vast majority of donors both big and small supporting the Biden-Harris ticket.

[Blue Full Moon]

12. It's worked until now. Hopefully

Nancy Pelosi's message that Biden/Harris is our ticket. Will end this nonsense.

[GoreWon2000]

23. Sadly, 14 million dem primary voters now disenfranchised

by a small group of mostly privileged white, anglo men who think they know better than we the people just like the 5 GOP SCOTUS judges thought they knew better than we the people in 2000. This current little dem anti democracy cabal should not now even think about trying to sabotage the Vice President in her effort to become the nominee.

5. nor do I

And (to me) this kind of epitomizes the lack of thought, bumper sticker/meme oriented, kind of 'answers' we appear willing to go for in the current atmosphere. Disappointing.

[wackadoo wabbit]

6. OK, fair enough. Then tell me why you think that the big donors have pulled their support for Biden

And don't say Biden's performance at the debate. It wasn't that bad, and he's since shown that he's the same Biden he's always been.

There's something going on that's attempting to disenfranchise We the People, so tell me what you think it is.

[meadowlander]

9. They're looking at polling that says he won't win

and if Biden isn't going to win, they want to spend their money on House and Senate races to make sure the Republicans don't snag both of them as well.

[farmboy]

11. I can't refute what you say without risking making the moderators angry.

So you get to say “it wasn’t that bad, and he’s the same without me being able to frankly respond. Think what you will. But your conjecturing is just that. A theory. Seems there are many people not on this discussion board that disagree.

[Sympthsical]

7. When common sense is disallowable, wackiness becomes inevitable

[betsuni]

10. Agree, doesn't make sense. If low taxes were so important they'd contribute to Republicans.

Zero Democratic votes for the Trump tax cuts. Duh.

[wackadoo wabbit]

14. Oh, I don't know. This might have had something to do with it

Twenty-five percent is a chunk of change.

16. Estimates are that it would raise $50.2 Billion a year, not much. It was officially proposed in March, yet donations

continued. And, most importantly, there is virtually no chance of it passing.

"That total includes Biden's "billionaire tax," which would impose a 25% minimum tax on individuals with wealth of over $100 million. The Treasury estimated it would raise $502 billion over the decade."

17. THIS!

25% tax rate is the 1st item that gets tossed if KH gets the support of the donors.

Citizens United has got to go! This stunt of forcing out our candidate will never end unless we change it.

Start by making ALL tv ads free. We the people own the airwaves. Leased to those who charge huge amounts money for air time.

Taking the money from here isn't much of an impact, but it is a start.

[meadowlander]

8. If that was their driving motivation wouldn't they just be supporting Trump in the first place?

Why take a chance on another Democrat emerging from the convention (who might have the same, or an even stronger wealth redistribution stance) if all they care about is lower taxes and they can get that from a Trump win?

[Tickle]

18. Yes, What you said NT

[tritsofme]

21. Yea but goofy conspiracy theories are more fun!!

[padah513]

13. Yes! The IRS had just recently collected a billion in taxes from the rich.

It is a harbinger of things to come, and that's why they want him out of there. Trump is making them big-time promises saying what he'll do for them, and I suspect he'll get a butt-load of cash coming in for the next few months to make it happen. We have to GOTV in November, but first, we need to unify as a party!

[Tickle]

19. No taxes on tipping

It's going to be law because of credit cards. So says orange man

15. Why is Michael Jordan pictured?

I know he’s a billionaire but has he said anything regarding not donating to Biden? (Assuming he donates to any candidate)

[republianmushroom]

20. From millionaires to billionaires, republican or democrats the bottom line is money.

22. Don't apologize for not...
