I love our country, and I am seriously considering running for president as a centrist independent.— Howard Schultz (@HowardSchultz) January 28, 2019
Naturally it's the leftists who are having the collective freak out due to their worry that a candidate Schultz would siphon off Democrat votes, thus handing reelection to President Trump in 2020.
Perhaps my favorite raging spittle came from "Think" "Progress" guy Ian Millhiser.
If Howard Schultz gets into the presidential race, @MoveOn, @IndivisibleTeam, the @DNC, the major unions, and the major presidential campaigns should all use their email lists to promote a Starbucks boycott until he drops out.— Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) January 27, 2019
The only previous high profile boycotts against Starbucks came courtesy of some Christians who objected to the design of their holiday coffee cups. If nothing else, Schultz has done something which few thought possible in this era of deep political divides: He unified secular progressives and fundamentalist Christians in their respective disdains towards his company.
