Sanders is old and wants to retire. Walz/Cortez instead.

To be fair, the black Obama will also be running in the 2028 primary
I think he means leftists. Leftists didn't believe the Democrats were fighting for them. I think he wants to fix that.
That's more time for the lazy Americans to organise and have a communist revolution. That's the goal. Delay fascism until the workers get their act together.
Walz was great in 2024. He had enthusiasm and actually answered the interviewers' questions. I would have preferred the symbolic victory of a black woman president, but I like Walz better as an individual person. I think he could have won if he'd been the presidential candidate. Well, Harris won too, but I mean he could have won even with the voter suppression stealing all those democratic votes.
President Walz and Vice President Cortez is the future we need. But probably not the future we'll get.
I don't think any of those scenarios focus on what happens to an unwanted steak. Abortion bans are horrible for all the little steaks who don't get to have parents who wanted them, too.
Au contrare. I can go speak to otherkin right now. In fact, I'm in conversation with one about how the cartoon Generator Rex uses nanites as a parallel to the AIDS crisis. Otherkin quite clearly and obviously exist. I see otherkin much more often than I see fish.
Now, most people see fish more often, because most people are boring, but that's no reason for disbelief. The point is that there's little point proving something so non-controversial exists. Nobody cares. You won't get a research grant for something so irrelevant.
Asking people to provide research studies for this kind of thing is absurd. The only reason all these studies on trans people exist is because the media politicises our existence. When you treat otherkin the same way, you're politicising their existence too.
The people who think men can't be raped are the bad guys. You're supposed to disagree with them. You are having the intended emotional response to the comic. You agree with PizzaCake.
when in reality men who are victims of this often just don’t speak up at all because when they are, they’re either not believed, called “gay” for not enjoying it, or it ends up reported with a headline like “female teacher has sex with male student”.
Yes, that's how the real world treats male rape victims. This comic is about how fictional misandrists would treat a male robbery victims. Those are two different things. This fiction doesn't make implications about the situation you described.
If you WANT to say transracial or transspecies or transnational is a thing, by all means do some research and prove it through studies and peer review. Until then, it is unlikely to be recognized the same way that transgender has because it has a lot of supporting evidence.
I want to play a game with you. You're demanding evidence for something that some people have a lot of experience with, but most people don't care to investigate. I wanna do the same thing.
I've decided that fish aren't real. I want you to link a scientific journal article that says fish are real. Not one that presupposes the existence of fish in general, one that asks if fish actually exist and asserts an answer from evidence.
If you can't prove fish are real, why should anyone have to prove otherkin are real?
Buuuuuuuut, if you really want scientific articles on otherkin....

but, let’s not equivocate gender and species
No. Otherkin are valid. The social construct of species isn't.
Asexual reproduction. Sapiens-Neanderthal hybrids. Tree grafting. Speciation is nonsense with no basis in empirical observation. The only reason it's become an accepted paradigm in the scientific community is that the convenience outweighs the inaccuracy in a lab context. It doesn't when we're talking about otherkin. When we're talking about otherkin, the cost of continuing to believe in the made up nonsense that is species is too high.
Harris won the popular vote too, they just refused to count it.
