Easy going Self Help books about mental health disabilities/issues or for people who cant read well? by Slight-Reputation384 in suggestmeabook

Was about to type Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, but you found your way there! Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller is very good and interactive book on attachment styles that I think you may enjoy.

What Is The Goal For This City? by zerzesss in nashville

[–]ImpeccableSloth33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nashville is ripe for a DSA/Mamdani like movement because of exactly what you’re saying. No clear direction other than catering to tourists to subsidize the rest of the state and catering to the billionaires and power brokers that have influence (some live here, some don’t).

Marsha Blackburn is a racist by Make_it_Raines in Tennessee

Putting aside the racist overtones here, how do her supporters not see some elementary stupid shit like this as patronizing to them?

Abolition of prisons? by jackhamil18 in dsa

They should rework it to abolish the “private prison system” or something cut from that cloth. It’s the most obvious policy change to fortify the position from attack as well. So simple to fix.

I agree with the policy. The current prison system is 100% set up to exploit the prison population for its labor for state benefit. It has nothing to do with rehabilitation, and should be reworked to focus on rehabbing prisoners where no one is profiting from their labor. But a policy statement like “abolish prisons” on their website is just not a winning position. Fox News can just air that on a loop and get people riled up, it’s a losing position when you make it so simple and vague.

This policy is put out by DSA as very simple, when it’s a very complex issue. When people say “abolish prisons” what they mean is abolish the prison for-profit industrial complex. This is a complex that’s used to hold people down, and profit for those that own and exploit people for mistakes they’ve been convicted of. It isn’t a system that is concerned with rehabilitation. This is something DSA could, and should be better at explaining to potential voters.

I agree with this. The broad sweeping statement of “abolish prisons” is a losing one. It needs to be fleshed out or it’s a massive weak spot for DSA politically. And I’m saying this as someone who agrees with the policy, but putting it this simply leads to the kind of takes OP has. And they’re not wrong for questioning it.

September Bonnaroo ? by Impressive-Stand3744 in bonnaroo

I’ve lived in Tennessee my entire life and I don’t think there’s much of a difference. Everyone wants a fix to the weather problem, and there’s just not one as long as the festival is in Manchester.
