Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what their advocating for Walleye Jul 2024 #21

Not raising taxes on people making over $400,000. rubbersole Jul 2024 #42

Shifting the tax burden away from themselves and onto the middle and working class meow2u3 Jul 2024 #57

That's the only motive that makes sense to me unfortunately Walleye Jul 2024 #60

To the extent that the are operating in good faith I think they want "hypothetical democratic candidate". D23MIURG23 Jul 2024 #79

As I said in another post, basic politics is, you can't beat somebody with nobody Walleye Jul 2024 #80

OK, but I have yet to hear what the hell they actually do want Walleye Jul 2024 #61

To me it sounds like they don't want either. If they want Biden gone, they also want Kamala gone. KPN Jul 2024 #82

No. It doesn't. LBJ kept the Kennedy cabinet after JFK was killed. Grins Jul 2024 #62

I don't know, if Biden were forced out if the cabinet wouldn't resign Walleye Jul 2024 #63

That's all I've been hearing lately, from Republican politicians, pundits, even some Democrats. Walleye Jul 2024 #33

So many women have dedicated their lives to getting us where we are today. I just can't stand to see the girls of today Walleye Jul 2024 #34

Of course they want to remove the whole ticket. LisaL Jul 2024 #8

The big money donors don't like Joe or Kamala. Emile Jul 2024 #9

Big money donors are white MOMFUDSKI Jul 2024 #26

Yes, that's the impression that I get PatSeg Jul 2024 #29

I actually think this is about Kamala, they don't like her and they are concerned she will be taking over Bev54 Jul 2024 #67

You're right Bev. They also know if Joe resigned two years into his second term and Kamala Emile Jul 2024 #69

They want the excitement of an open convention newdeal2 Jul 2024 #10

I think that's their thinking, Joe isn't exciting enough. Walleye Jul 2024 #23

Intelligent people... GiqueCee Jul 2024 #24

Yes and by such standards, PatSeg Jul 2024 #31

The wealthy donors lost their influence on the GOP because MAGAT'S took it over. Emile Jul 2024 #13

What a great point. Dems are, usually, more stable; that must be attractive to them. n/t OneGrassRoot Jul 2024 #35

That kind of unlimited money is hard if not impossible to resist rubbersole Jul 2024 #40

Wow. Now that makes more sense. BComplex Jul 2024 #44

My message to those Democrats would be, get new donors Mr. Sparkle Jul 2024 #15

Or new brains. LisaL Jul 2024 #17

That has been my impression since this media created spectacle started. If the "big donors" are calling the JohnSJ Jul 2024 #18

Yes, private money out of politics. Whoever has the most money wins. travelingthrulife Jul 2024 #51
