, but believes that moving away from increasingly polarized parties would unify the American people.

So, you suck at politics! Fuck off, and go run a business somewhere. Oh, and some actual Democratic politicians could use your money, if you’re not full of shit about actually helping.

For the love of God, get over yourself. Why not spend your money to help a viable candidate beat the crap out of Trump? Please don’t be another Nader loser.

I’m sorry, but this next election doesn’t need ANYBODY to help split the vote. Independents, please give it a rest in 2020. You won’t win and we need a Dem with some knowledge of how the govt. works.

I could see him getting about 100-200 votes in each state. I doubt most people will take him seriously though.

The last thing the US needs right now (or ever) is another billionaire president running amuck in the WH. These people are not republican or democrat, they are self-righteous, ego maniacal, power hungry capitalists who are only out for themselves and preserving the current world order. Bloomberg, Steyer, Schultz, Zuckerberg, Gates, et al are not the solution, they are the problem.

To be fair, getting people to pay $10 for a 25-cent cup of coffee was a major contribution to Western Civilization.

IF there is a separate Right Wing-non GOP party to run in 2020…that is the ONLY way that “third party” is viable for the Democrats.

ANY third party that is center or center-left or left means Republican Rule.

Not Republican governance but Republican RULE.

This cannot be stressed enough.

All those independents are just Republicans in disguise. He actually wants Trump re-elected.

Schultz is a lifelong Democrat, but believes that moving away from increasingly polarized parties would unify the American people.

Never ceases to amaze how people with so much money can be so fucking stupid,

A further reminder (if one is needed) that mega-success in American industry is not predicated on exceptional intellect, character or self-awareness.

I am going to be honest here:

If ANY person not in the Democratic or Republican party gets traction beyond a percentage point or two, we better HOPE that that person is to the right of George Lincoln Rockwell.

Rockwell would be considered a moderate in today’s Republican party.

Nader at least stood for values that weren’t represented in the 2000 general election. Schultz is just another corporate Democrat running without the name.

Is the electorate crying out for a billionaire who doesn’t actually understand how politics works?

No. No, I do not believe it is.
