Howard Schultz's New Facebook Ad Is Going Viral for All the Wrong Reasons After People Noticed a Painfully Hilarious Problem With His Messaging

Howard Schultz's New Facebook Ad Is Going Viral for All the Wrong Reasons After People Noticed a Painfully Hilarious Problem With His Messaging

Ya don't say.

A recent ad for Howard Schultz is being soundly mocked for including a statement of truth on par with "water is wet."

Schultz—who has not officially announced his candidacy as an independent in the 2020 presidential race—is still deciding whether to throw his hat into the ring.


The billionaire former Chairman and CEO of coffee giant Starbucks announced in January that he left the Democratic Party and was exploring running for President.  Since then he has courted media and voters with a series of appearances and ads.

His latest ad was a sponsored post on Facebook by Schultz. The caption read:

"The majority of Americans aren’t Democrats or Republicans,"

-cue dramatic pause-

"...the majority of Americans are Americans."

Included was an image of the same slogan—without capitalization or punctuation—superimposed over a person of color with red and blue filters.

People are having fun at Schultz's expense on social media where screenshots of the Facebook ad were shared. This is not the first time the billionaire has been mocked online.

Several people mentioned tautology in reference to the ad.

The applicable definition of tautology is:

"a statement that is true by necessity"

Yes, the majority of Americans are Americans. That is a true statement.

In fact, one might even say all Americans are Americans.

Just like all cats are cats. That is how they get designated as a cat, or an American.

Several people thought the team behind Schultz might not have his best interest in mind.

People shared all of the Schultz messaging.

In addition to the majority of Americans being Americans...

"it's time to un-partisan"

"you don't have to choose sides to be on our side"

"are you leaving your party or is your party leaving you?"

...and finally in the only slogan with proper punctuation and a somewhat salient message:

"America isn't broken, our politics are."

Schultz has as yet not revealed a timeline for when he will decide whether or not to pursue the presidency in 2020.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
