Down-voted with deep regrets. A vote for Sanders, no matter how good he would be, is a vote to let Netanyahu "finish the job" in 2024.
The path to your goal is to vote progressives down ballot and really support them until they rise to congressional level where they can actually create change.
Until then, vote for the candidate who has the best chance of winning and gets you closest to you goals. Beware, the trolls want to create division so their guy can walk right in.
if everyone started only talking with their AI friend.
This would be super great for the ruling class behind the AI curtain. Your AI pal would compliment and flatter you while guiding you down the corporate cattle chute.
Seems that the trickle of trainers and advisors is turning into a flood. British troops could deploy to Ukraine to train soldiers, France is debating on sending troops and NATO in general is preparing to send "advisors" and troops to "train" Ukrainian soldiers.
This is escalating fast. Actual active participation in combat may be near.
Don't forget people use a lot of Roundup for lawns and weed control too. Few homeowners wear respirators when using the stuff and pets track it back into homes. Also glyphosate remains in the soil for years too.
NATO allies are inching closer to sending troops into Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces, a move that would be another blurring of a previous red line and could draw the United States and Europe more directly into the war....
Putin is making his move. Russia is breaking a treaty, invading a sovereign country and trying to destabilize several countries through psyops. Those sitting on the fence will wind up under his boot.
Israeli forces have carried out at least eight strikes on humanitarian convoys and their facilities in Gaza since October, even after aid organisations provided their coordinates to the Israeli authorities, according to a report by Human Rights Watch....
Israel is digging a big hole for themselves but they don't care. They do what they want and get away with it over and over. Remember they attacked the USS Liberty and suffered no consequences.

I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....
Conservatives approach things very differently. They tend to blame and make excuses whereas liberals tend to treat the problem and look for solutions in models of success. For example, little Suzie gets her hand caught in the car door. A conservatives would typically blame her or her little brother. A liberal would likely treat the injury and try to set rules to prevent it from happening again.
Another example, Donald Von ShitzInPantz wears diapers. The right hates it when they can't weasel out of a fact so they defend it, embrace it as normal even desirable instead of accepting there is a problem. If that was Biden he would be hatefully ridiculed, (blamed) to no end by conservatives.
Conservatives assume blame, (hate) is the solution. Liberals fit a solution to the problem. There is conflict because of the way they approach a problem and blame, (hate) is the conservative solution.
Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....
Times are tough for Russia. Putin has put a lot of his resources into cheaper alternatives like threats and cyber warfare. He is hoping, and aiding with psyops, his ally stooges, the House Putin faction and Donald Von Shitzinpantz to steal the presidency soon.

Most news outlets promote the outrageous and controversial stuff to get viewers face time. Try to go with informative but reasoned news sources. Also the MSM, and social media tries so hard to capture audiences that they miss vital but less sensational topics. That said, the AP presents pretty non-inflammatory news. I get news from comedians like Jon Stewart and Emmy Award winner John Oliver to lighten things up and Beau of the Fifth Column for unique non-partisan points of view.
The state of the union is quit good if you adapt. Prices are up but people who stay home and prepare the food they eat get way better food for a lot less. People who stay home instead of vacationing in far off places are find gardening and home improvement rewarding.
Those soldiers were most likely high value targets. They aren't going to wast high value weapons on grunts. Their elimination would likely save the lives of many Ukrainian civilians.
