Too corporate, not for universal healthcare, wants to cut SS and Medicare. Corporate Democrats are scared to death we will elect a real progressive.

Tell Starbucks that you're out unless and until its former CEO and major stockholder announces that he is not running.

Mario B. (Listening)
Mario B.: Thank you for contacting Starbucks, my name is Mario B.. How Can I help you today?
ME: : Please pass on my comments that this Schultz guy needs to stop after he makes another ton of money selling his book. I buy a crapload of Starbucks instant cold coffee but I shall be stopping that until further notice.
Mario B.: Hello Pattie, I truly appreciate your feedback, we will make sure to pass your feedback properly.
ME: Thank you Mario...have a good night and look forward to purchasing Starbucks again after this Schultz guy's ego gets deflated. Best Regards...Pattie

Answers were so canned, I even asked if he was a computer. He said no, but I am still not 100% sure.

I'll keep this brief...if Howard Schultz insists on launching a vanity presidential campaign, his only accomplishment will be to siphon votes from the Democratic candidate, as Jill Stein did in 2016. Donald Trump told the audience at a fundraiser this evening that he wants him to run because it will "help" him secure a second term. It's a terrible idea, and he's received no shortage of that feedback on Twitter. Literally 100% of the responses to his tweets include some form of "don't run." I generally do not favor boycotts, but as long as it is his intention to go down this path, I can't in good conscience purchase your products. It's his prerogative to do this, as it is mine to not be a customer as long as he pursues a senseless and damaging "campaign." Thank you for your understanding.
