Alabama Liberal explains why he thinks 2026 will be not only a blue wave, but a blue tsunami, but ONLY if Democrats actually field candidates in ALL races–unlike 2024 where THREE separate Alabama Congressional races had no Democratic candidate whatsoever, allowing Republicans to sashay back into office.

Don’t Buy the Dip: Tesla Stock is Screwed No Matter What Musk Does
Here, Alabama Liberal (until recently, a longtime Tesla stockholder) explains why it’s foolish to “buy the dip” in Tesla’s stock price as the company is probably screwed whether or not Musk dials it down or even if the board pushes him out altogether. Definitely worth a watch to explain how Tesla was overvalued primarily due…
Trump Should Not Be Time’s “Person of the Year” Because His Impact Was NOT the Biggest of 2024
Many people don’t think Trump should’ve been chosen as Time’s “Person of the Year” because he’s a horrible person who will do nothing but make the country worse over the next four years. But my take is different than most because even though I also don’t think Trump should’ve been chosen at all, it’s not only because he’s…
Pros Before Bros: In 2016, America Elected a Rapist Instead of the 1st Female POTUS, Are We Really Going to Do it Again?
Katie Britt Proves There’s TWO Embarrassing Senators in Alabama Now
And the Razzie goes to… Katie Britt! …I haven’t seen such an untalented alum from the Karen School of Acting since the last viral cellphone video of a white woman wrongly calling the police on black people that made her mad. Not sure if anyone reading this had a strong enough stomach to see Senator…
Big Question: Why Does the World’s Richest Country (for Nearly a Century) Continually Pretend It’s Too Broke to Help Its People?
Any given day of the news, you can find some story of [fill in the blank] Republican politician saying America “can’t afford” to pay for Medicaid, or “Social Security is going broke,” or some new version of a timeless theme for the Republican Party: that America’s miserly social safety net is unsustainable and antiquated and…
Why Should Americans Follow the Supreme Cult when the Supreme Inquisition Wants to Strip Them of Their Rights?
This is actually a very fair question. —For starters, the Supreme Court’s power is only the perception of power. It has no agency to enforce its rulings. The Justice Department is independent of the court, and no law enforcement agency answers to the court. [They have a police force of roughly 200 officers, but they exist largely…
Unpopular Vote: Giving Oil Companies Everything They Want Will NOT Lower Gas Prices
It’s been almost comical to see Republicans repeatedly fret about gas/oil prices, but then come up with no credible solutions to actually lower gas/oil prices. Their general “answers” all seem to revolve around the concept that if you give a huge industry everything they want, prices will magically lower themselves out of the goodness of…
What is the Bluest State in America? What is the Reddest State?
As someone who’s lived all over the country, and whose blog slogan is literally “Blue in a red state,” people often ask if I can tell them what the bluest state in America is and especially if I know what the reddest state is? The bluest? Hands down, Hawaii… The state is Democratic controlled from…
“Government is Evil Republicans” Sure Want Government to Control People
One of the great, hidden ironies of politics in this century is that Republicans pretend they are for small government, but have only ever given the government more control over people’s lives, usually over aspects that have no need for government input. Meanwhile, they pretend they are economic wizards (and some Democrats pretend they hate capitalism),…
Unpopular Vote: Countries in Europe Aren’t More Liberal than America, Just More Equally Represented
By now, we’ve absorbed it almost as a total truth that Europe is unequivocally more liberal than the United States. This is perhaps forgetting the rival histories of Europe and the U.S. since the U.S. constitution was an inarguably liberal (for its time) and revolutionary document the founders signed knowing they could be executed by…
Of course, Democrats are STILL the Party for Blue Collar Workers
Last week, I shot holes all through the increasingly popular Republican talking point that Democrats have “abandoned” the working class in favor of “elites,” and that Trump (a billionaire who poops on a gold toilet) changed everything. This week, I’d like to focus that message even more towards blue collar workers or jobs. After all,…
What if America Actually WAS Split into Two Countries? A “Red” Nation and a “Blue” Nation?
Right below this article, I wrote one asking the question of “Why does Texas keep talking about secession?” and actually answering it instead of standing around scratching my head screaming “the world’s gone crazy” (the default position for most millionaire media pundits). But it isn’t just Texas. Even a brief glance at bot-plagued social media…
