Yer both idiots. You know nothing about business. National companies like Starbucks making such overt pitches for one political party over another are the height of arrogance and stupidity. Many people will not buy Ben and Jerry's, purchase at Benneton, buy an album by the Dixie Chicks or buy a copy of the NY Times because of the same stupid public pronouncements. Starbucks just announced the closing of 600 stores, the Dixies Chicks lost hundreds of thousands of fans and millions of dollars and the NY Times circulation is now so low that it is on the verge of bankruptcy. Alienating a large portion of your potential customer base for reasons that have nothing to do with your business is irresponsible to the point of fiscal criminality.
