People have pointed out that if Trump plans to run again in 2024, he absolutely should try to get a second stimulus passed. But he should do it even if he doesn’t run again in 2024. Partly for his own legacy. Right now, he will be most fondly remembered as… The first POTUS in US…

The Election Wasn’t a Blowout but it Still Proved People Hate Trump
“Damn, how did Trump get more votes than last time? How did he do so well?” I’m not sure an incumbent President losing by the biggest margin since Herbert Hoover is really “doing well” by any objective measure, but I understand the sentiment: how did so many people vote for an impeached, incompetent, traitorous criminal…
15 Reasons Al Gore in 2000 and Trump Today are NOT the Same Thing
Every conservative right now “Well, Trump is just using all his legal options. It took Al Gore 38 days to concede. There’s no difference.” These Al Gore comparisons are dead wrong for so many reasons… 1. The vote in Florida truly was less than a 1,000 vote difference and at one point only 537 votes….
The Power Imbalance Between Rural and Urban Areas
It’s becoming a little-talked about fact that even though big cities and blue states are supposedly “socialist,” they actually control the economy: the staggering majority of American GDP comes from blue cities and blue states. Meanwhile, Republicans that supposedly hate government are in charge of rural areas in red states who’s only real contribution to…
Unpopular Vote: No, the Polls were NOT Wrong
“Can we ever trust political polling again given how wrong they were yet again in 2020?” I have no idea why people keep saying stuff like this. In 2016, Hillary won by three million votes, and now Biden is on track to break Obama’s 2008 record for most votes received by a Presidential candidate (73…
“Reasons to Reelect Trump”…That are Completely False
I keep seeing the same Republican “reasons” to reelect Trump surfacing all over the internet in a way that is not only suspicious (why the same talking points over and over?) but provably false. I’ll now debunk a few of the ones I see the most… 1. “There’s a strong economy.” The economy has collapsed….

If “Elections Have Consequences” Why Do Republicans Keep Losing but Still Get to be in Charge?
One of the most repeated phrases of the rightwing is “elections have consequences” which they say any and every time that any non-Republican seems to point out how blatantly unfair something is. Yet I can’t help but wonder “if elections have consequences, how do Republicans keep losing but still get to be in charge?” —In…
Trump is NOT for Law and Order
Alabama Liberal debunks the lie that Trump is the “law and order” President given what’s happened this year, and also catalogues Trump’s refusal to actually follow the law and hatred for law enforcement.
Actually, Trump is HORRIBLE for the Economy
The only area Trump consistently out-polls Biden in is the economy…Alabama Liberal proves that is dead wrong given the year we’ve had (both during and even before Coronavirus), the massive retail bankruptcies, and the sectors Trump meddles in most directly are usually the most in trouble.
Actually, Obama DID Care About Red States and Rural Areas
It is a common misconception that Obama didn’t try to win over red states or rural areas or the white working class or older white rural voters or people who are 50 miles from a Target or however you’d like to phrase it. In contrast to Trump–who is perfectly fine letting California get consumed by…
Just Don’t Use Straws
In his latest unpopular vote video, he recruits a 1-year-old climate activist who would like to live and thus asks you to stop using straws…it’s literally the least you could do.
Fossil Fuels KILL More Jobs than they Create
While in an area that was economically devastated by the BP oil spill, AL explains how fossil fuels actually wreck more jobs than they create. [Note: The sound quality in one video was so bad, I had to redo it with a second take–but the first footage was too beautiful to scrap completely.]
