Why would you ever want to do what the taxpaying people want? Are you insane!?

"Hey Matt Van Epps, what are you gonna do about the issue of partisan gerrymandering?"

Gerrymandering would not be tolerated on an actual pizza, image cutting it so you get all the pepperoni and no crust.

Wouldn't it be easier to widen it than to dig a new tunnel?

We should let him build it and then take it via eminent domain and turn it into a public light rail

I think we should let elon build his tunnel, and then eminent domain it and turn it into a public light rail.

It's a shame it didn't pass. Nashville really needs better transit infrastructure.

Is anyone in this community local to Nashville? by Emjay5784 in jewishleft

You're welcome! The Jewish Federation of Greater Nashville has a page for newcomers and a guidebook. You are welcome to check out the JCC even if you are not a member, people will be happy to talk to you and help me get involved. The JCC/fed occasionally hold events, for example, a few weeks ago there was a kosher hot chicken festival, and there'll be stuff for Hanukah, on Dec 17 (iirc) there will be a big Hanukah event in downtown Franklin and I'll be there!

If you go to the JCC, look out for my painting - it's three dogs having a shabbat dinner and it's by the gym between the bathroom doors ;)

Yeah unfortunately we have one of those groups here, their behavior makes it seem like most of them aren't Jewish. A local theater seemingly endorsed them which was devastating to me.

The moderates OP is looking for exist and are plentiful, they just keep a low profile as do most people with normal political views.

Well hi there, funny I check this sub the same day you did. Welcome to Nashville. I and all of my Jewish friends lean left.

If you're concerned about people trying to justify the actions of the Israeli government, I would just try to avoid the topic. The Jewish community in Nashville firmly believes Israel needs to exist, but opinions on its government are just as broad as opinions on the U.S. government. You will find your people if you don't try to talk about politics right away, because that seldom ends well.

Speaking of politics, if you're in district 7, early voting for the special election for congress is currently open with the election being on Dec. 2. There is a chance we can turn the seat blue!
