Why you should go vote (?!)
This is tres cool and tres Starbucks. It is also a good example of preaching to the converted - I am referring to those latte-sipping liberals who are usually more educated, more politically savvy and more likely to vote anyways.
On second thought I have decided I really dislike this commercial: it implies that a profit-driven corporation becomes the standard bearer for a "healthy" community. Who cares what Starbucks thinks about voting? Why have we (progressive urbanites) allowed it to create so much cultural and political capital at the expense of non-market forces? Thank God this election is about real issues, competence and grassroots campaigning, rather than fake feel-good messages.
