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…
Edward Snowden is a Fame Whore
On the 5th anniversary of the Snowdean leak, AL explains why Snowden is a weird symbol for privacy, wonders if whistle blowers should have a documentary film their leaks, and why most people don’t care about Snowden’s revelations: our fear is not that people are listening, but that no one is listening. In 2016, we’re…
Introducing: “Ask Me Anything” Feature
Alabama Liberal wants you to ask him a question about literally anything…
I No Longer Believe Trump Won the Electoral College
AL makes the case that there’s simply no way Russia can hack nuclear power plants, the stock market, tech companies, the California power grid, water treatment facilities, deep sea cables, etc. and not be able to hack voter machines in Bumblefuck, Pennsylvania.
Democrat’s Biggest Problem is Disloyalty
From throwing adulterers under the bus (Edwards, Spitzer, Clinton) to Bernie’s refusal to join the party to the shameful case of Obama refusing to pardon Don Siegelman–AL draws a common link between seemingly random instances: Democrats don’t show loyalty to each other. He also explains why red state Democrats feel so abandoned, many choose to…
