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.
What is Gender Drain?
Alabama Liberal coins the phrase “Gender Drain” to explain rural areas having way more men than women, and explains why this is not only making rural men angrier and more radical, but stopping Democrats from regaining political power.
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…
Why Do People in Rural Communities Vote Republican?
Even though 80% of America lives in cities, rural people have as much control over our electorate as they ever have. Republicans obnoxiously answer that the Founding Fathers designed America that way–back when predicting the invention of skyscrapers would’ve gotten you burned at the stake. But now it seems almost obscene that North and South…
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…
Trump Makes Neville Chamberlain Look Like Rambo
AL wonders how Trump has been able to brand himself a tough guy, when he’s really a huge coward, and marvels at how quickly he does Vladimir Putin’s bidding
James Comey is a Useless Phony
AL takes aim at the unbelievably full-of-shit James Comey, who’s positioned himself as a modern-day Superman when he actually 1. Cost Hillary the race, 2. Didn’t say a word about Russia collusion when the CIA was talking about it, 3. Only had a problem with Trump after he was fired, and 4. His firing was…
Alabama Political Ads vs. California Political Ads
Ad for Kay Ivey (“Tough as Nail” is ad title) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-RkV… [And I could not find an ad for Gavin Newsom on YouTube, but his TV ads emphasize gun control and his record of fighting for LGBT/immigrant rights.] After watching the campaign videos, watch AL explain how two front-runners for Governor in two states he’s…
