How do you know they don't?
Stuff like this....
https://www.newsweek.com/disney-gave-least-250k-senators-that-voted-dont-say-gay-bill-1686128
Rather than ask me for a source of all of them not donating...
Wouldn't it be easier to find a single one about them doing it?
You're asking me to do something incredibly time consuming, and frankly close to impossible with just public knowledge, but to prove your side, you just need to find a single source to prove me wrong
I think you need to read Abigail Disney's Wikipedia page to learn the difference between her and the Disney corporation
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abigail_Disney
I mean, she's literally cited/quoted in the article that YOU just linked yourself, as the active opposition.
I can't see where she's donating to progressive candidates....
I know she says stuff, and donates to charity.
I said:
And I haven't seen any evidence any of them do. Maybe some gave a couple thousand, but that won't beat what billionaires spend on PACs.
You made a claim, implicitly, that they aren't doing so. You were asked how you knew this claim was true. Your response should have just been that you don't know whether it's true, only that it's what you think they should do, instead of trying to blame the other poster.
Oh cool, another person who can't link a source for any of these "super rich" donating substantial money to progressives in primaries.
There's a lot of y'all, you don't have to keep telling me you couldn't find anything
And now you're trying to blame me. Lol classic.

Done
Also the link you posted is for Disney Corporation, not Abigail Disney the person mentioned
Those are good causes...
But I don't see anything about her making political donations at all, especially not in democratic primaries to progressives
So the only good philanthropy is the one you personally approve?
Nope, just not what I asked for.
Like, if I asked to borrow a pen and you gave me a cupcake...
Cool, thanks for the cupcake, but I was asking for a pen buddy.
