Boycott Starbucks

It's a sad comment on society when you try to destroy someone who is not only on YOUR side, but has done nothing wrong. Kind of reminds me of when the lefties boycotted Chic-Fil-A because the owner donated money to fight gay marriage. Next day their lines were around the corner and they have been ever since. They are now poised to catapult into being the number three fast food chain.
 
I was boycotting Starbucks but will suspend. To be fair...I can't get by w/o coffee ......wasn't in total solidarity. Far in away the best liberal running so far.

Michael Moore calls for Starbucks boycott... I had already done so on my own.

Is this guys ego the problem that puts us all at risk?

What do you think?

I don't know, but I already boycotted Starbucks, because I hate it when those damn brewristas look down their nose at me because I can't remember whatever stupid word they use for extra large (no offense intended to whatever language that is, but come on, they know what an extra large is, no need to be a dick about it). And I refuse to get one coffee for the price of three...lol...

That said...while Moore definitely has some points, I think that he's a sensationalist and a bit overzealous with his activism, to the point where it's sometimes hard to take him seriously. Boycotting Starbucks isn't going to happen, ever. It's an overreach on his part. Too many people are addicted to Starbucks coffee and image, and the guy's supporters will just buy all the more...not to mention the folks that just want to piss of the kind of people that would participate in this...hehe..

Sorry, Michael, you're not gonna take down a guy, who became a billionaire by selling coffee, an addictive substance, by telling people not to buy that coffee...haha...gotta figure something else out, bud.

What do you want to bet this is preamble footage for his next movie stunt of HIM running for president...lol... "This entitled jerk off was running for president. *unflattering picture of Schultz* I asked him not to. *20 people at a protest outside a Starbucks* He refused. *dramatic music, something by the Stones - maybe Sympathy For The Devil, an out of breath Moore standing in a disheveled suit* So I DECIDED TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT! *bum bum buuuum* Coming to a theatre near you" :lol: Where's my million bucks?

I don't agree with an attempt to sabotage a person's business as a means to prevent him from running for office. If Moore is opposed to Schulz's agenda, then by all means critique him on his views and proposed policies; Schulz has a right as a citizen to run for office if he so chooses. The boycott is dumb in my opinion; save the boycotts for the things that really matter lest they lose their effectiveness. If Democrats are worried about an independent splitting the vote, then run good candidates to ensure that doesn't happen.

As for Starbuck's, I don't go there anyway. I prefer the local Uruguayan and Italian cafe's for coffee outside of the espresso I make at home.

you need to listen, only then can you understand.

You clearly are clueless as to what you are speaking about.

The RNC unanimously passed a resolution in January 2019 backing the candidacy of Donald Trump. I assume they are welcome to run as Independents?

It's no surprise that a national political committee would back the incumbent. That doesn't preclude someone else from running, only from getting RNC support.
