No one can stop self-absorbed wealthy men from running for president as a vanity project to feed their needy egos.
M’Lady, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things that I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
He would unify the nation in hating him.
Unfortunately, we’re all going to be pining for the days of Howard Schultz running as an Independent for President when Kanye runs in 2024.
So his goal is to run as a 2020 Ross Perot? I hope someone close tells him to cut that out.
No, I won’t. I would rather watch Kanye run than Schultz. Kanye is way more fun. And he’ll run as GOP.
He can campaign on contributing to the NBA life of Oklahoma.
Somebody has been blowing some serious smoke up his ass.
I would quit drinking Starbucks in protest, but Starbucks sucks and I never buy their coffee.
Remember, Howard, only you can prevent narcissism. This will go the way of the Oprah presidency and be a relic soon enough.
Howard Shultz is a fucking moron. With trump on the ticket no one, absolutely no democrat will vote for him. Jill stein taught us that lesson. (Too bad Nader did not in 2000).
The only chance Shultz has to get even 5% of the vote is if the democrats go far left (sanders, Warren). He might get 5% of the not-trump vote in that case. They would be republicans repelled by trump. That conceivably would re-elect trump.
Woo!
Jill Stein taught us that lesson. It hardly stops there. Recall Ralph Nader. Recall the left torpedoing Humphrey in '68. Three times in 48 years.
The last most popular third party: Ross Perot. One voter in five; Electoral College: Zero, none, nadda. Thank God. There will be no viable third party as long as the Electoral College exists. As we keep seeing. The only way I see the Electoral College croaking is if the Republicans get burned themselves more than once, or if there is a Democratic super-majority, including the states.
I’m hoping he does.
The same Ralph Nader who told a believing white privileged left there were no differences between Al Gore and Bush the Lesser? What was that catchy name his staff gave him in the closing days of the 2000 Election? Oh, right: “Ego.”
He stood for nothing but the deaths of thousands who died on 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and two idiotic wars. That’s the only thing he and his white privileged bullshit ever stood for.
“Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said in a “60 Minutes” interview—to be aired Sunday—that he is seriously considering a presidential bid as an independent, according to a Saturday Atlantic report.”
Well, it’s noice to know that Washington State and Seattle will remain blue.
Obama burned em twice #sigh
But he might have a chance of winning Oklahoma. And he can have it.
Also the destruction of Black wealth as a result of the Second Great Crash and the Great Recession. So much white privilege. You can cut-and-paste everything the Susan Sarandons and others said in 2000 - and then 2016; they fit quite perfectly.
It’s not for nothing Black leaders in 2000 termed Ralph Nader “The white luxury vote.”
Another rich idiot who didn’t pay attention in poly- sci or civics classes.
