You are completely wrong with that statement.

First off, people that say Alabama and Mississippi are the worst states are usually democrats. I have loved living in AL and MS.

I don't like having blind alligences to parties either. However, the Democratic Party has become a socialist party full of hate that I do not want my state associated with. Not to mention, long term democratic rule has been proven to destroy thriving U.S. cities. Look at Detroit and Chicago. Both are in shambles because of the democrats

Don't get me wrong the republicans in the south are complacent and don't get things done. However, I'd rather nothing get done than democratic policies get advanced

I don't really know where to start here. It is great that you have loved living there, but that doesn't mean they both don't blow and rank almost last in any meaningful metric you want to select. To say Detroit and Chicago are in shambles because of the democrats would be like me saying Alabama being a republican state is the single reason why the state struggles so much. Chicago also isn't that bad tbh, big city with lots of nice areas, and lots of bad areas. There is a lot more nuance with Detroit.

Should probably go out and explore life more. Words can't help this one.

I prefer the candidate that hasn't been removed from office twice.

No it wouldn't. You are showing your ignorance of Alabama history. Republicans didn't have full control of the state of Alabama until 2010 (first time in history). Dems are just as to blame for what needs fixing in this state as they are for Chicago and Detroit.

Yeah I mean it's not like Chicago is nicknamed Chiraq for the amount of violent crime or like Detroit which went from a thriving city of nearly 2 million to a mere 650,000 in 50 years of democrat rule. Honestly the fact that you can't acknowledge that those areas are in shambles speaks to your ignorance. My family has lived in both Chicago and Detroit so I think I have a good understanding of both those areas.

Honestly you should go out and experience life more to see all the Americans suffering due to failed democratic ideas. The "affordable" health care that Obama forced on us should show you that socialism doesn't work.

Like I said in a earlier post. I don't like what Alabama republicans have done. Many are lazy and in some cases corrupt. But I'd rather have laziness and the status quo over the policies that have been PROVEN to fail
