There is no doubt in my layperson mind that this being manipulated by search engine optimization etc. I'm not a techy, so perhaps I am wrong, but with everything else going on, it's not credible that people care this much.
It seems to me the seeds to sow dissension among us are being planted. Can we not counter this?

What kind of business model wants millions of people to boycott their products forever?
And I'll drop a note to Costco to tell them to drop that coffee to.

(34,552 posts)And we all know how well the last vanity campaign worked out.
Schultz's empty platitudes and "both sidesism" is just what they want to distract from the real issues. And, if he does run, he'll be no better than Ralph Nader & Jill Stein, a spoiler who will most likely guarantee that republicans will control the White House for four more years, with or without POtuS. So, if he's been a supporter of the Democratic party for years, what has made him all of a sudden abandon it for a third party run other than sheer ego? Competent, qualified, decent people are declaring their candidacy. It's sheer egomania. It's disgusting.
