Will Democrats Actually Boycott Starbucks?

Will Democrats give up their $5 lattes?

Starbucks has previously been the target of boycotts and protests from conservatives, but now liberals might be gearing up for a boycott of their own: Ex-CEO Howard Schultz’s ill-advised march toward running for president as an independent has triggered major backlash from Democrats, and as Bloomberg points out, “It just so happens that those Democrats are most heavily concentrated in the urban areas and coastal states where Starbucks does the bulk of its business” — meaning a boycott could hit the coffee giant hard. But whether people actually care enough to forego their morning macchiatos will remain to be seen.
