Alabama Liberal examines the ass-backwards logic that Democrats want Bill (one of only 2 good Presidents in the last 50 years) and Hillary (the first woman elected to the American Presidency) to disappear while making Lewinsky as visible as possible.

UBI Part 2–The End of Work and Money? Good
SUBSCRIBE If Universal Basic Income is the end of work (and possibly money)…wouldn’t that be a good thing? Alabama Liberal pokes holes in the myth of “the Dignity of Work.”
Part 1–Is Universal Basic Income the Moviepass of Political Ideas?
Alabama Liberal investigates something that seems a little too good to be true: Universal Basic Income (or a Freedom Dividend), and remembers that anytime the math seems suspiciously abstract on something (from Trickle Down Economics to Moviepass), it usually is.
Sorry Rich Guys, I Can’t Vote for You
Alabama Liberal explains why he’s skeptical on Tom Steyer and especially Michael Bloomberg, who seems to think the human train wreck that is Donald Trump and a 2% wealth tax are equally awful.
EVERYone but Pete, Biden, and Warren Should Drop Out TODAY
Now that Kamala Harris is out, only three candidates have a real chance at being the nominee…so why are 16 still running? AL argues that everyone else NEEDS to drop out today.
Kamala Harris Has a Great Record on Civil Rights–and a Personal Story to Prove It
Throughout Kamala Harris’s campaign, she was plagued by allegations that she has a lousy Civil Rights record–Alabama Liberal tells a personal story to showcase how that’s not true, reveals California’s all-white statewide office holders (which Kamala had to rise the ranks of), and tries to pinpoint the real reason so many Social Justice Warriors were…
What Would a Kamala Harris Presidency have Looked Like?
Today brought the devastating news that Senator Kamala Harris (my personal favorite) is ending her campaign for the Presidency. Even though she was part of the 5 candidates who actually had a shot at the nomination (Biden, Buttigieg, Warren, and Sanders being the others), and routinely polled anywhere from 5th to 2nd throughout the entirety…
What Would a Joe Biden Presidency Be Like?
Since we know there are only five candidates with even a remote chance of becoming the Democratic nominee (Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, and Elizabeth Warren are the main three, with outside chances of Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris), it’s worth it to think about what their administrations would actually look like–perhaps especially Joe Biden. This…
Live-Blogging the November Debate
6:00–Now might be a good time to mention that the top 5 Democratic candidates (Biden, Warren, Harris, Buttigieg, and Sanders) have not changed at all in 2018. It might be also be a good time to ask why the fuck nearly 20 other people are still running? 6:02–Disappointingly, the first question is not “Tulsi Gabbard,…
Why is Each Democratic Candidate Running?
It’s true that there are only 5 candidates who even have a shot at the nomination (Biden, Warren, Harris, Buttigieg, Sanders—in that order), and maybe not even that many. BUT the polls have had the same top 5 for pretty much all of 2019, and Iowa’s only 4 months away. For another candidate to get…
Live-Blogging the CNN Debate–Night 2
7:00–7:15…The same opening fifteen minutes of filler. Now is a good time to mention that the talk of last night’s Yahoo Comments section (a notorious dumping ground for conservative, corporate-bots) was that the debate stage didn’t have an American flag on it. It ABSOLUTELY DOES have a flag on it…a gigantic video screen flag visible…
Live-Blogging the CNN Democratic Debate–Night 1
7:00–For the first time in years, the phrase “live from Detroit” is uttered… 7:02–CNN gives an intro so over-the-top, I half expect Hank Williams Jr. to come out singing “Are you ready for some de-baaaaate!” With Bernie Sanders playing electric guitar, Buttigieg giving a blowjob on stage, and Julian Castro bursting through a paper mâché…
Live-Blogging the Democratic Debate…Night 2: The Main Event
5:55 p.m.–No offense to some strong contenders last night (like Julian Castro and, uh…Julian Castro), but four of the top five pollers are debating tonight: Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, and my favorite Kamala Harris. I would bet money the eventual nominee comes out of tonight’s group. 5:58 p.m.–Not to put too fine a…
