No one goes there for a cup of black coffee, not with dozens of blended coffee and tea drinks on the menu. If you don't like something you try after a few sips they will make you something else.

Not a huge deal in my opinion, not enough of an excuse to avoid Starbucks if you are an anti Clinton person. It isn't like everyone knew Starbucks is liberal anyways. Headquartered in Seattle. Doesn't allow open carry in stores. Also I think they did something about not saying Happy Christmas, or something about Christmas awhile ago.

If you buy a pound of coffee you are involved in politics.

Soooo...

Bunches of companies literally buy off politicians every single day, including contributing to campaign funding, but you have a problem with Starbucks?

Ok.

That's random.

The 'Christmas thing' was Trump trying to gin up a war against Starbucks, claiming they were part of a war on Christmas because Starbucks used a plain red cup last year. It blew up in his face because fans of Starbucks just stopped in more often over the holidays.

Lol....the nerve.

You guys only say this if a company you like is endorsing someone you DON'T like.

Everything is hyper political now. I don't see why Starbucks should be any different.

Believe me, if they were backing his candidate, this thread wouldn't exist.
