Longtime Hollywood donor Damon Lindelof is calling on Democrats to “stop giving” money to President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.
“My name is Damon Lindelof,” he wrote in a piece for Deadline. “I am a lifelong Democrat and I love my complicated, glorious country. I am not writing this anonymously because I’m asking others in positions of influence to do the same.”
“I don’t know if what I have to say will matter, but I know what my eyes and my ears and my heart tell me,” he added. “I’ve been asleep at the wheel and it’s time to wake the [expletive] up.”
The TV writer and producer has reportedly been a significant contributor to Democratic campaigns including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Biden.
“When a country is not behaving how we want them to, we apply harsh economic sanctions. It’s a give and take — Short term hurt for long term healing,” Lindelof wrote.
“When they text you asking for cash, text back that you’re not giving them a penny and you won’t change your mind until there’s change at the top of the ticket,” he added. “And when Joe finally leaves the mound, I will stand and applaud. Because he truly pitched a great game.”
