Hand on Heart: When was the last time we told a neighbor or colleague, “Thank you, you’re a true democrat”? Probably not often. Or when was the last time someone praised our ability to find consensus or make compromises in daily life, perhaps saying, “I like you—you’re a genuine democrat!” Instead, engagement is often acknowledged—which we, of course, appreciate. But is that enough? No, it often leaves a sense of unease, dissatisfaction, or even frustration. Thanks for nothing?
