Scripting News: I wish the Democrats would use the fucking tools

I wish the Democrats would use the fucking tools#

A service the Democrats should run, now.#
A daily advisory saying which government edicts you should not obey to protect your life and other's lives.#
For example, there must be Democrats in Jacksonville who do not know going to the beach is not safe. #
Tell them. Save lives.#
Each time I think the Dems are establishing a persistent online channel via social media, e.g. Howard Dean in 2004, Obama in 2008 and 2012, the Clinton campaign in 2016, Bloomberg this year, even Warren, as soon as the campaign is over the freaking channel closes. #
This is as stupid as it gets.#
That channel should NEVER close. #
Not only is it bad marketing, it's also dangerous policy. Remember Dems you're running for a reason -- to govern. To be good at it. #
Well even if you aren't president, we still need leadership, esp in times of a void in the White House.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
