“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….
Wow, Check Out this Doug Jones Attack Ad
Tommy Tuberville unleashes his wildest attack ad yet
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.]
Unpopular Vote: There’s no conspiracy against Tulsi Gabbard but there is one FOR her
AL looks at Gabbard–a socially regressive, unpopular, relatively obscure congresswoman–and her suspiciously strong online support.
Stop Saying Hillary Outspent Trump
This may not be the most relevant thing to talk about two weeks before the Iowa primary, but I just get so infuriated when people say “Well, Hillary raised more money than Trump—so money can’t buy victory.” I absolutely HATE when Republicans keep bringing up that Clinton raised more money than Trump, and I have…
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.
