With all the Democratic Socialists winning over standard Democratic party incumbents, there's a fair amount of angst on the cable news. If they're scared, they should step aside. We tried it their way in the Biden Administration. If we ever get lucky enough to have a president who's sane and wants to reboot democracy, it's going to require doing some things that an oldtime president wouldn't want to do, like Obama or Biden. Both of them gave up without even trying. Forgive them, but let's not make the mistake of electing their successors. It's time for clear-thinking people to take office, fully aware of what they signed onto, and then if we elect them, they do it. And when the Repubs throw bullshit at us, say it's bullshit, and say it that way, not the mealy-mouthed way Jeffries does, or even Elizabeth Warren. What we need now is a strong dose of Bernie Sanders. Did I ever think I'd say that? Hell no.#
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! :-)
