Alabama is a National laughing stock. Ranks at the bottom in nearly everything. Coincidence?

I know not what people in a deep red state want to hear BUT.... Hoping Democrats get out & vote so they'll see, hopefully, numbers that will attract more Dems in future elections. My District...0 Dems running. VoteBlueToProtectAllOfOurRights

Good!

Do they even allow democrats to run for legal system positions like judges and district attorneys? Mobile is a majority minority city, but democrats have no one running for a judge or DA position. The democratic leadership doesn't allow minorities to run for key offices.

Inexcusable, even if they were certain to lose.

Who wants to vote for the party that promotes and condones full term abortions and the wide open Mexican border.

Do you blame people who don’t want to be a part of the party of abortion and LGBTQ+? Not things I’m voting to support. And that’s a totally legitimate view to have, just like the majority of Alabamians.

Mob justice has a big reach. Also The love of friends and family stop any desire to walk in the rows of hell!

This shameful.a bunch of nobodies running. You might as well cross over and vote for the lessers.

We are in this state for all practical purposes under one party rule which grows more authoritarian with each passing year. Lies, fear mongering, and abject discrimination are the SOP of the ALGOP.

MikeCasonAL all you said in this piece is that I was removed from office and that I’m homeless. That is both culturally disrespectful and reductive.

MikeCasonAL you may have even mentioned that I run a hobby dog breeding business or that I sell consignment furniture.

MikeCasonAL you could have highlighted my organizational therapy work with person’s experiencing hoarding, nicotine and meth addiction.

Okay, so MikeCasonAL why was it appropriate to only highlight the most negative aspects of my career and work. You could have mentioned that in addition to experiencing homelessness as a direct result of political exile that I am a policy group principal.

In a straight ticket state, wouldn't it be smart to have 1 democrat in every race? Republicans do and benefit from that exact strategy.

Because the liberals know they have no chance! They have destroyed our country. AmericaFirst LiberalismIsAMentalDisease

I’d like to see them run so they could be beaten badly and embarrassed. Liberal policies are garbage. Reference inflation, wide open Mexican border, gasoline prices, supply chain issues , the current state of the stock market and the desire to kill full term babies.

Alabama is overall a Southern Political Segregation state in most Districts. Based on that fact, Democrats don't bother to compete in several statewide elections. However, Democrats aggressively participate in local and District elections where they hold many offices in Alabama.

Anyone but Mo Brooks.

Good. Leftist Dems destroy everything they touch.
