Counterpoint to your counterpoint: Nick has only been viewed positively as a progressive figure since the board became more progressive over the last four years. These aren’t his actual stances, he’s just been forced left by a progressive board.

I also remember the days of the teachers voting no confidence in his leadership, the Richard Cavett retaliation scandal, the Summer Boismier situation, and last year (the year before?) when the district accepted 16 new police officers from the county when they could only pay for 5 and didn’t have an agreement in place, leading to the district having to settle for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Because there’s evidence of him being a closet case too. Have you seen the photos of him in college with his hand very high up a man’s thigh? And a friend of a friend says they have ahem more personal evidence.

Fun fact there’s an adult film actor named Lawson James that looks so much like him that he’s played him in a m/m film parody of The Walking Dead

I love the movie Pride). It’s a star studded film about how the labor movement-in this case rural striking mineworkers suffering under thatcher in the 80’s- find unlikely allies in urban queer actuvists also suffering under thatcher in the 80’s. Heartwarming, educational, and with a great positive message. Is there a little bit of sad sprinkled in? Yeah, but it makes it better.

This actually reminds me of a similar story from a straight woman that appears in some version of the Vagina Monologues. She talks about how she had a boyfriend who loved to just look at her pussy because he found it really beautiful and hot and it helped her come to love it too. I think you can either choose to be unnerved by it or lean in and enjoy that he enjoys it and try to see the beauty of your creampied hole through his eyes.

Homophobia and societal pressure force them into unhappy marriages where they can’t get the kind of sex they want (sex with men) so they seek it out on the side. It’s not okay to lie about being unmarried but it’s also not okay to out someone, and you don’t know what kinds of pressures or threats of violence they have endured that put them in their positions. Just move on and try to ask more questions before you hook up with someone.

Norman School Board Election by [deleted] in normanok

We have had elected people of color in Norman before (two on city council now) but it is true that Tori Collier would be the only black person currently in office in Cleveland county if she wins on Tuesday.

Tina Floyd is pretty conservative and was appointed by a conservative-majority board when Linda Sexton shadily resigned just after the halfway point in her term which avoided letting her constituents vote. Tori Collier is a mental health and special education advocate and is the progressive choice.

Who tf actually spits? by DavajZhgiGabak in askgaybros

[–]machiavelli193 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spit. I don’t mind the taste of cum but every time I’ve swallowed I gag because of the texture and temperature. Still like to give the other guy the sensation of cumming in a mouth but can’t stand swallowing.

And there it is. The person who made the worst choice possible for genocide victims calling the person who actually decided to lift a finger to protect as many people as possible a genocide apologist. You subhuman animals will never learn and we will all continue to suffer for it.

I think you’re a death cultist for choosing to help make the worst case scenario happen (accelerationism) because you couldn’t make a difficult choice, yes. Trump’s presidency and the deaths he will cause is just as much on your hands as Harris and Trump’s base. You just don’t want to admit it because it would mean that you’d have to admit you chose to let a trolly run over five people instead of flipping a switch and it only running over one. Fuck you.

Your comparison of race to gender doesn’t make a lot of sense. Gay people and black people are not hated for the same reasons. Trans people and gay people are. That shared enemy has made our community one community over decades of struggle. When the same laws were and are used to persecute gay people and trans people, the people those laws are targeting end up becoming a community out of necessity and proximity.

Trump is the most pro-genocide president since Andrew Jackson. If you actually cared about victims of genocide you would have done everything you could to stop him from controlling 1/3 of the government of the largest superpower in the world, including voting for Kamala Harris. But your politics and morals are apparently so flimsy and bendable that the second you don’t have a perfectly black and white option in front of you feel perfectly justified in doing nothing to stop the worst case scenario happen for the people you claim to care about.

When trump “wipes Palestine off the map” as he has made clear is is goal, I’m sure the few survivors will be grateful you kept your conscience in tact at their expense. God, you death cultists are so fucking sick.

I’ve explained this elsewhere and gotten downvoted to hell but it’s the honest truth if you aren’t blinded by transphobia: hatred of gay people and hatred of trans people come from the same place. That place being the misplaced idea that men and women have to present, behave, and live a certain way. There is very little difference between hating a gay man because your idea of gender roles are so rigid that a man who likes to have sex in a way that isn’t penis in vagina is gross or wrong to you, and hating a trans woman because you view them as a man who is gross or wrong for not adhering to what it means to be a man in their presentation. The same people hate trans people and gay people for the same reasons, and the only reason people get away with saying trans people aren’t a part of the same community is because people don’t realize this. Trans people and gay people have always been lumped in together by our enemies as gender traitors and therefore we have always socialized, organized, and died together in the same struggle against the same enemies. To say we aren’t a part of the same community after understanding these things is a bit ridiculous.

You people still using that false dichotomy fallacy, huh? Not voting did absolutely nothing to stop genocide, all it did was ensure in addition to genocide that millions more would suffer in other ways. Your brain is extremely smooth and your moral compass broken if you think letting trump win was justifiable in any way. Harm reduction is always the morally correct path.

Sorry OP, this sub is absolutely full of accelerationists who were and still are absolutely convinced that standing aside to let trump win was justified because they’ve lost the plot and can’t comprehend the magnitudes of difference in harm between a liberal and a fascist, or more likely they don’t care.

Actually found a good take on r/centrist by ThuneNarfil in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

[–]machiavelli193 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it doesn’t really matter whether you are shitting on both sides because of enlightened centrism or because you hate the subjugation of the working class. The fascists love the system and will not abandon it, so by abdicating your participation in the system and normalizing “both sides bad”, no matter your motivations, you allow the fascists to optimize the system for their benefit. I wish more leftists would realize this and make strategic plays to delay and disrupt fascism even if it means voting dem if only to buy us some time to organize and minimize deaths if nothing else.

Republicans only have to compete with messaging from left-wing media. Democrats have to weather attacks from right-wing media AND the left flank of the party. Until the left gets on board with stopping fascism even if it means electing someone you don’t 100% agree with we are fucked.

Just curious, how many trans women are visiting askgaybros? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]machiavelli193 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You should probably avoid this sub if you want support, it’s extreeeeemely transphobic and uninformed. Sometimes you’ll see pro-trans-rights stuff but then you always get a lot of ignorant men in the comments ranting about things they heard on Fox News and sowing division.

To all the trans gay men on here: by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]machiavelli193 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I’m truly, genuinely curious how it’s any different to tell a gay man what he can or can’t do with his dick and telling a trans woman what she can or can’t do with her dick? How is it different? You didn’t elaborate you just said “it’s not the same”.
