I've been hearing reports that "the market is way down" (due to Kamala/Democrats/god knows what else) and family members making comments that we better sell or liquidate our stocks.

I would never do that of course, but are right-wing folks actually jumping on the "sell-low" bandwagon? It seems too crazy but their media is always telling them dumb shit that kills or hurts them so its sorta par for the course in my view.

That is not why the markets are down. Japan is why the markets are down

I guess a weak jobs report here is also part of it?
