[Note about spoilers: There are only the vaguest possible spoilers for the series finale–and all season four spoilers are only in the first two paragraphs. This article isn’t about that.] “Mr. Robot” is hands-down the most audacious Drama on television (sorry Damon Lindelof, I know you try). Any given episode can feature head trips, fake…

Live-Blogging the December Debate (And Ranking/Grading the Candidates)
4:58 p.m….Are you ready for some debaaaaate! CNN literally says “Debate Pre-Show…Moments Away: Democrats Face Off in High-Stakes Debate.” Ohhhhh…dramatic. 4:59 p.m. We’re seeing live footage of the candidates scribbling notes at the podium. Riveting stuff 5:01 p.m. An introduction of the moderators, who I have never heard of… 5:01 p.m. Introducing the candidates–who are…
What Would Trump’s 2nd Term Look Like?
This seems like a strange question to ask on the day after Trump became only the third U.S. President to be impeached, and most people are so terrified of this possibility they might secretly curse me just for speaking it into existence. Please understand that I’m not saying he’ll be reelected and I damn sure…
What Would a Tulsi Gabbard Presidency Look Like?
Okay, so Tulsi Gabbard isn’t even remotely in the top 5, and if you want serious predictions, please check out the other articles in this series… –Dosvedanya comrades. “I can see Russia from my White House…because this is Putin’s summer home.” Vladimir Putin would very quickly reabsorb Ukraine, and Gabbard wouldn’t lift a finger to…
What Would a Pete Buttigieg Presidency Look Like?
This is probably the biggest mystery of all the candidates. While Warren and Bernie have been crystal clear about most of their progressive plans, and center-leftist Biden has given every indication of what he’ll do (hint: not much), Buttigieg is taking a slightly more mysterious, Clinton-esque route. He has detailed, pragmatic plans on most things…
What Would An Elizabeth Warren Presidency Look Like?
We’ve covered Biden, Bernie, Bloomberg, and now it’s time for someone whose name doesn’t have a B in it. Since my dearly departed Kamala Harris, Warren is now the sole woman in the race who actually has a chance at winning. Let’s take a look at what her winning would mean… –Crazy, batshit over-reactions from…
What Would a Michael Bloomberg Presidency Look Like?
Well, now that Kamala Harris is out of the race, Michael Bloomberg is technically “in the top 5” of Democratic candidates…and a deal is a deal, I’ll now talk a little bit about what an extremely-unlikely Michael Bloomberg Presidency would look like… –No surprise, the “Great Bi-Partisan Dream” Does Not Materialize. The single biggest selling…
What Would a Bernie Sanders Presidency Look Like?
After looking at what a Joe Biden presidency (and then a Kamala Harris presidency) would actually look like–it’s time to look at the rest of the Democratic “Top 5.” Do I think Bernie will actually be the nominee? No, but crazier things have happened… –His fans would be extremely disappointed. “There are only two tragedies…
Hunter Biden is NOT Relevant but School Busing IS
Alabama Liberal examines the baffling logic that Biden should be responsible for his kid’s employer, but NOT for essentially thinking that Civil Rights are optional state’s rights, even though schools are more segregated today than they were in the 90’s.
The Clintons Don’t Have to Go Away (But Lewinsky Does)
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.
