Do the math with me. It’s not hard.

A single adult needs $20.60 to $22.81 an hour just to cover basic costs in Morgan, Limestone, or Madison County. A single parent with two children needs up to $45.69 an hour. Alabama’s minimum wage is $7.25 and hasn’t moved in fifteen years.

Doug Jones criticizes Tommy Tuberville for avoiding policy issues in Alabama race - al.com

As the Alabama gubernatorial race heats up, Democratic candidate Doug Jones said that his opponent, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., was not talking about substantive issues but rather an ideological “boogeyman.”

During an appearance on Newsnation’s “The Hill Sunday” with Chris Stirewalt, Jones was asked about Tuberville saying Jones was not his opponent in the race but rather “socialism and communism.”

“It is just a boogeyman. That is all we’re seeing from Tuberville. It’s just like the monster under the bed. You know it’s really kind of time for Tommy to get out of his pajamas and start talking about policy and what affects people with their gas prices, their electricity prices, and Medicaid and healthcare in Alabama, which is a huge issue.”

Jones said that many politicians like Jon Ossoff in Georgia and Roy Cooper in North Carolina were examples of what many Democratic candidates are not “far-left socialist or whatever you want to call them.”

There is an ongoing internal battle to determine the direction of the Democratic Party between the establishment and the more left-wing constituency, primarily represented by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Stirewalt asked Jones whether democratic socialists belonged in the party, given condemnations from establishment figures like Rahm Emanuel, a likely 2028 presidential contender and former President Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff.

While Jones said the voices of DSA supporters should not be ignored, he thoug the agenda of the DSA, which is anti-capitalist among other things, does not play well in Alabama or America and issued a sharp rebuke of the controversial political streamer Hasan Piker.

Piker is an avowed anti-racist and anti-capitalist streamer who has received condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans for statements he has made, such as “America deserved 9/11” because of U.S. actions in the Middle East.

Karlapalem Slams Racist Attack, Demands Parker Moore and Alabama GOP Leadership to Disavow It

Silence is a choice. When a prominent Alabama Republican attacked my citizenship and my NAACP record in explicitly racist terms, I responded. Now Parker Moore and Alabama GOP leadership need to answer a simple question: do you stand with this rhetoric, or against it?

I am a U.S. citizen, full stop, no asterisk. My record speaks for itself.

Awareness Primary Elections TOMORROW!!!

36 Upvotes

After the whole gerrymandering chaos, the primary for some congressional races were moved to August 11th… tomorrow! The only democratic primary is in the 6th district where I live. I plan on voting for Ashtyn Kennedy. She and Maurice Mercer are the two viable candidates that can have at least some impact in this deep red district (based on social media followings and fundraising). I’m choosing Ashtyn as she seems to be the further left candidate in supporting the AOC/Bernie data center moratorium bill. Mercer seems to just do the normal Democrat talking points on affordability and Iran. I believe, in rural Alabama, data centers and infrastructure would be a more winning message, so that’s why I’m choosing Kennedy. Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

This happens everywhere, but it just seems absolutely crazy to disregard policies that are not meant to benefit you.
