Only daenarys has a reason to still fight

First some facts: Cersei Lannister is not as evil as Joffrey. Stannis is dead. So is his brother. Jon snow does not want to be king of westeros. Neither does Sansa. The martels, or the tyrells don't want to rule westeros.

Only dany has a real reason to fight a war for the throne. Everyone else is just upset over revenge for things their families did. Cersei wanted Joffrey to have mercy on Ned.

To this end, I don't believe Jon snow will be eager to help dany fight the lannisters. But I don't think he will help the lannisters fight dany either.

And if everyone could come to their senses, this is really between two power hungry females. Dany and cersei. How many will die for those two biatches? Jon snow and Jaimie Lannister I can see being the ultimate heros of this story

You're forgetting Littlefinger, who definitely wants the throne and who has enough power and wealth to make a good go at it.

But you're also forgetting that most people in monarchical societies who fight for the throne don't do so because they, personally, want to be king. They do so because they feel it's their duty; their duty to advance the interests of their own clan, or to get the throne away from their enemies, or to support whomever God or the Gods has appointed as king, whatever. Stannis saw it as a duty to put an actual Baratheon on the throne, Danerys sees it as her duty to take back her father's throne, even Robb and Jon didn't have any particular desire to be Kinginthenorth but saw it as their doty to accept the title when it was thrust upon them. Even Cersei doesn't want the throne itself, she wanted power but not like this, she's just damned if she's going to let an enemy take anything away from her.
