I am in no doubt that recent events will impact on the world in ways we have yet to comprehend, but I am more curious than afraid and, despite being 80, I hope I get another five years to see what happens here in the U.K. as well as America. I am a lifelong localist and Socialist who has, at times, had more power than most members of our Parliament have ever had, and I have always shared it and embraced the opposition.
The things that matter most are those which happen on your doorstep. Embrace your neighbor. Find your common ground and build on that. One of your followers, Sandra de Helen, in a recent substack post recounted a doorstep conversation during which someone paid her a compliment as she was writing postcards for the Democrat campaign (https://open.substack.com/pub/sandradehelen). This cheered me no end. I recently thanked Anne Kadet, who in cafeanne.substack.com, celebrates individuality and neighbourhood, for not mentioning the American General Election once. It is history. Look forward and try to ensure people understand one another a little better before the next General Election.
Too many politicians on all sides thrive on division. Dare to be a Daniel. Look forward. That is the Betsy I believe in. Take care🐰
Thank you, Robert! There is so much to be found in our neighborhoods and cities where our actions can have the most impact. I have loved Anne's newsletter because she covers New York the way I used to cover a small town when I was a journalist. She brings the city to life.
