Schultz tells SXSW to 'disrupt the system with a centrist approach'

received a relatively warm reception at the South by Southwest festival Saturday while floating his potential 2020 presidential candidacy as “a centrist independent outside of the two-party system.”

A lifelong Democrat who said “the Democratic Party has left me,” Schultz reserved his harshest criticism for his former party, warning they were going to blow the election against Donald Trump by embracing extreme positions that, while “well-intentioned," are “never going to happen.” as a Democrat. “For him to realize that there’s no room for him is a litmus test that party has gone so far to the left,” Schultz said.

He might actually save the Democrats by forcing them back to the middle...

Howard Schultz should run against trump in the republican primary if he doesn’t and runs as an independent he is a trump supporter.

Those far leftists at that conference aren’t going to like that.

You GUUYYYSS! Stop picking on us billionaires!! Life is tough for us tooo ! If you keep taxing me I’ll only be a hundred millionaire ! Practically a peasant!

Socialism is only for the wealthy and you had better not raise my taxes you losers. Too harsh?

No thank you, Schultz.

I'm sorry, but Schultz is not our solution. Remember when a billionaire in the past ran as an independent with his flat tax platform? Ross Perot? People threw away their votes on him. Independents cannot fix the system.

If Trump is defeated in a 2020 GOP Primary I'll be voting for Howard Schultz.

HowardSchultz only thought of running for president when he heard Elizabeth Warren's billionaire tax. Howard I'm not fooled

So in his terms the “grande” approach?

I swear, this guy is like the crazy aunt that tries to convince you of the benefits of a colon cleanse every time you see her.

We just need one candidate who doesn’t speak in opposites. Just one!!!!

Yes, let’s disrupt the system that allowed an unqualified billionaire to become President by electing a different unqualified billionaire President.

S👃🏼C👃🏼H👃🏼U👃🏼L👃🏼T👃🏼Z is only in it for himself

We need another billionaire narcissist like Seattle needs another Starbucks.

Please make him stop.

I think the system is disrupted enough.

Or just spell my name right in the damn coffee cup

As he cowers in the shadows

haha....'Hey guys, I know we've tried a very milk toast approach where we looked out for the top 1% & corporations for like, almost ever, but have you ever thought maybe what we really need is someone looking out for the top 1% & Corporations? Think about it'.

Political Scientists: Why Moving to the Center is a Losing Strategy for the Left

CONFUSED LADY DOING MATH DOT GIF

The 'center' is substantially left of billionaires.

Nobel-Prize Winning Economist: The president thinks lower taxes and deregulation will solve the US’s problems. They won’t work, because they never have:

Omg please just buy an island and go tf away

Haha, you can't disrupt from the center since that is the very definition of the status quo.
