BTRTN: Boycott Starbucks.

[reggieandlee]

Born To Run the Numbers has a simple solution to make sure that Howard Shultz's ego-trip never progresses far enough that he will actually siphon off Democratic votes and thereby increase the chances that Donald Trump will be re-elected:

Excerpts: "Shultz, free to spend billions of dollars of his own money on this venti-sized ego wank, could easily percolate three percentage points off a Joe Biden in Pennsylvania. He could cold-brew several thousand votes away from an Amy Klobuchar in Wisconsin. He could pry a few thousand baristos away from voting for Kamala Harris in Michigan. Howard Schultz could win just enough votes to re-elect Donald Trump President of the United States. Do not dismiss this heinous possibility. Ralph Nader...pulled just enough votes away from Al Gore in Florida to elect George Bush President. I hope that Ralph Nader goes to sleep each night thinking about how many Iraqi children died because of his pathetic need to masterbate in public...
"And here is what really roasts my beans, you pompous pumpkin-spice poser, you know damn well that you don’t have a chance of winning the Presidency on an independent ticket. You know that you are just making a grab for fame and glory without the slightest risk that you would actually have to do the job. This is just a self-indulgent lark to elevate your personal brand, which happens to be the exact same rationale used by the dimwit who is currently in the White House...
"When we see rich guys helping Donald Trump, we are inclined to grind up them up finer than a pound of Tanzanian Peaberry. We’ll start by giving up coffee. Starbucks Coffee, specifically. No more vente, soy, non-fat, no foam, half-sweet macchiatos with caramel drizzle for this guy...
"And, oh, by the way, cancel the orders from my sixty million Democratic friends, too."

1. i've boycotted Starbucks a long time ago.

burnt coffee isn't my thing. I make my own @home, even the frappe. On the road a cheap cup @MickeyD's tastes better than Starbuck's high priced variety.

3. We have a coffee shop/bookstore in the next town that is run by a

local Democrat. I stop there whenever I get the chance. He really does have the best coffee in town.

I like Casey's coffee, too.

Starbucks has always been overpriced and burned.

I agree about MickeyD's. Until my daughter had an after school job there, I did not realize their coffee was good. I will buy it on the road, like you.

2. Over-roasted, pretentious, bitter dreck

And his coffee ain't all that, either.
