Why in the Wide, Wide World Of Sports is there no Democrat running for Senate in Alabama?

Is there a Green candidate? If not, who are progressives supposed to vote for?

The fact that there's only one candidate sounds like something straight out of the Soviet Union.

From wiki; "He was the only candidate to file before the deadline and as such he will be unopposed in the primary and general elections.[1]

Sounds like Soviet-style communism to me.

Because a Democrat can't win in Alabama.

A Democrat would have a tough time in lots of places all over America, but people still need a choice.

Otherwise, it's not democracy.

I guess Alabama progressives (who haven't fled yet) would have to write in something stupid.

If I lived in Alabama, I might just vote for myself as a write-in. I always do this in uncontested local elections.
