Schultz is speaking so much truth . The left has totally lost it !

—-
Possible independent 2020 presidential hopeful Howard Schultz cautioned the nation against electing another Democrat with how far the party continues to shift to the left.

[T]he Democrats are shifting so far to the left that … unless there’s some sense brought into the party, we’re going to end up with socialism in America if a Democrat should win,” Schultz told Hugh Hewitt., host of “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”

He added, “I don’t want to see that happen.

There's no "could" about it. It is very likely that within the next 100 years almost our entire country will devolve into urban prison complexes, badlands and, most people living as people do NOW in Venezuela.

In 100 years America will be on China's "feed the children" commercials.

I am not unsympathetic, but when Howard Shultz owned the Seattle Sonics basketball team, he demanded a new tax-funded basketball arena. That was socialism (government ownership of the means of production). His demand was not met, so he sold the team, and it was moved to OKC.

As Ralph Nader put it when he was here to advocate against the government-funded Seattle Seahawks stadium, pro sports owners want to 'privatize profits, and socialize costs.' Nader was right, and Schultz is a grade A hypocrite.

Schultz positioning himself as a center right candidate , its interesting. Maybe he will pull those centrist Trump supporters away from him and ultimately help Democrats.

You mean a free-market economy that works for the people, not against them? Who wants that?

Schultz single-handedly deprived the loyal and supportive Seattle fans of their pro basketball team. If the country did become more socialist, it would be what the Republicans deserve, for trying to impose Trumpist fascism on us. It's a natural process of reversal, when a radical regime is thrown out.

Anyone who claims to be an independent candidate and campaigns by slamming the Democrats, is just a thinly-disguised right-winger. But let him siphon-off some Republican votes, the way Nader did to the Democrats in 2000.
