I hear a lot of talk amongst conservatives of simply pulling out of the market if Bernie wins.

Personally I think most of this talk is just that, such as Leftists who promised to leave the US if Trump won, which they did not.

But if this happened, would this be a good thing having destroyed capitalism once and for all?

That way we can just raise taxes and live off government programs.

(Edit: Hand in there sh, it's gonna be alright. I'm sure the bread lines won't be too long)

You've said a lot of ridiculous things Whodey, but this one tops them all. First of all Conservatives have traded stocks on the NYSE during all administrations, going back over a century, even you are smart enough to know that. Secondly, just because Bernie calls himself a socialist does not mean a Sanders administration will magically transform America into something totally different - it won't.

You'd be a natural for the Jerry Springer or Howard Stern shows Whodey. All you'd need is some fat people with pink hair and "issues" and some fake fights. 🙄

Well as we know, capitialism is evil as are all rich folk like Bloomberg who tried to buy his way in, (except for Sanders who owns 3 homes, one of which is a {camp}), but I think that is only common sense.

So if people pull out of the markets and head towards a black market, how will the socialists tap into their wealth?

I say arresting these folks and making them pay their fair share is what is needed.

Hitler sent the rich Jews into death camps but I think we can all agree that this was a little over board. We don't need to kill these folks we just need to take their greedy wealth from them.

Have you guys invented an invisibility field and a motor that runs without fuel? You need those to set up Galt's Gulch.


If the democrats win, Wall street pulls out and buys back when stocks are low.
Simple Simon.

Buy back into what exactly?

America will have sided with the Marxists, money is evil and anyone caught with any will have to surrender it anyway, so why take all that added risk?

Make up your mind.
Is America going to be Socialist, Marxist, or Communist ?
Never mind answering that.
You’ve already clearly demonstrated that you don’t know the difference.

You might just as well go back to talking about killing babies !!
That’s what this cold civil war is about anyways.
It’s more over the future social DNA of your country rather than the economic one.
You could live with someone like Trump moving towards authoritarianism as long as he delivers Roe v Wade.
C’mon ! Admit it !!

Dunno. Oil rich Venezuela went down the crapper pretty darn fast, and dolts like Bernie just keep continuing to utter praises for these socalist regimes.

Scary.

Progressives have over the century centralized power, which leads to authoritarianism.

Something like abortion should be left to the states. Conservative states and liberal states should be able to set their own policy on such matters, but people like you would prefer half the country wanting to secede with every presidential election no matter who wins.

The idea that your Natural Rights should vary depending on what piece of dirt you're standing on is absurd.

Progressive policies have weakened the hold on power of oligarchs and local tyrants, exactly the types servile right wingers want to rule over the People.

In the perfect Libertarian world, NOBODY rules over the other.

This is the big problem with modern day politics, everyone wants to pull the strings.

Try telling that to a Cuban boarding an inner tube hoping that the currents in the ocean takes them to Florida.
