Analysis: Howard Schultz really wants to write 'come together’ on American politics
Former Starbucks chief executive Howard Schultz gives a speech Wednesday at Miami Dade College. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 13 at 5:41 PM You’ve probably heard this story before, but I’m going to tell it again because its eternal hilarity has, remarkably, been elevated by a newfound topicality.
You can, in fact, probably imagine the power that was likely to have, and you'd be right. It immediately boosted the nation's all-important joke economy, but that was about it. At one point, Schultz made the claim that the United States was “not born a divided nation” and so, therefore, we should not be now.
It’s important to note that partisanship correlates strongly to people’s views on political values. That’s not really surprising, but the importance of party to values — and vice versa — has widened dramatically over the past two decades, according to Pew Research Center data. Democrats and Republicans don’t mostly agree on stuff but pick fights just for show. There are significant and widening differences that defy simple resolutions.
