Even if Hillary prevents a Trump Presidency...

....no way in hell does she prevent a cataclysmic economic collapse. She is merely a puppet of The Mad Banks. And once the dust from that horror is settled, don't be surprised to find that the fascists have decided to eschew the political route entirely and have taken power by force. This is why we are Bernie or Bust. This is why we are fighting like hell. Bernie is our VERY LAST chance to fix this peacefully. American democracy has been a long succession of near misses. This event will test our resolve, and admittedly our luck, to their limits. We must never give up. Because without Bernie, a fascists takeover of our nation becomes inevitable.

If we fail, GOD FORGIVE AMERICA.

3. I am not sure they are even in the same party

And I am not saying Bernie is the one who isn't the Democrat. Hillary is a Manchurian Candidate. Cept I don't think she is set to assassinate anyone, she will very much hurt the Democratic Party though I just hope not fatally.

5. Hillary may know her way around the block...

...but when the economy collapses our political superstructure will collapse right out from under her feet. When the collapse happens she will become just as much of a spectator to this horror as the rest of us.

9. A crash will happen again at some point, regardless of what person or party is in the WH at the time

Not even Bernie is immune to a Wall Street crash. No president is.

10. You speak the truth...

...but at the very least Bernie will have the good sense to draw the lines in the sand and tell us where to make our stand.
This is a perfect time to admit one's fear cause God knows this scares the hell outta me. This is why we need Bernie and we need each other even more.

14. Yes, anything Alex Jones says is untrue, lies, bullshit and nonsense. Unless he looks at

15. Anything he says might be untrue, but that isn't the same thing

as everything he says must be untrue. If you want to believe that a crash is unlikely simply because Alex Jones thinks it's possible, I've got a bridge to sell you.

7. Read Thom Hartmann's "The Crash of 2016"
Wed Mar 16, 2016, 01:06 PM

He pretty much describes the entire frightful scenario in exquisite detail.

Thom Hartmann is no conspiracy kook. BTW, I lost count of how many times Thom mentioned the word "Revolution" during the first hour of his show today.

He gets it. And so do the rest of us.

13. That all of the economic fundamentals that led to the near disaster in 2008...

....are far, far worse today. Indeed, it's probably a mistake to have used the word "Crash" in the title because from this perspective, a total and horrifying collapse is far more likely. The mad derivative market alone had exploded to $1.2 quadrillion dollars. When that goes belly up, how in the blue fuck are we going to answer a margin call that is over twenty times the entire GDP of Earth.

God forgive us all.
