@Susan_Larson_TN Why are Americans so myopic?
There's a world of billions and a planet of huge proportion for this to be an insult. If it gets Democrats over the line for a chance to talk about our world then I guess bonkers Winfrey and her crystals with Chopra is something to move forward on... 
@Susan_Larson_TN @BBC Except that USA would not consider the rest of the world. Why are Americans so myopic? Our planet is not here to serve USA that is largely an immigrant community that has created a bigger genocide than Hitler to wipe out millions of Native Americans and deploy monetary policy and pollution to be killing millions more.
@Susan_Larson_TN Except we live in a world on a planet that neoliberal policy is messing up.
It's not about America or Oprah to confront Mother Nature (Laws of Thermodynamics) - it's about all of us to work this out. I can tell you we really are one species and some are messing up more than others.
No one is great to have hate and see others as a problem. I should take my exclamations to X, Grok and Elon.
@Susan_Larson_TN So much of USA politics is entangled in religion - especially the Abrahamic ones.
Since the Mayflower landed, Catholics escaped Europe, Jews established control of banking and media etc there's been a problem. Hopefully things are moving into C21 rationale?
