		<description>HERE&#039;S what I don&#039;t get about you, Don. Your (enjoyable) forays into political humor show that you have a brain. But when it comes to OD your  brain goes AWOL, to wit:






1- suddenly, using and especially comprehending  words in English eludes you. This failure dooms your mission.






2- you relentlessly hammer away about Big Money in politics despite the fact that noone here disagrees with you.* WE AGREE ABOUT THE PROBLEM, already, but disagree about the solution (OD). 






3- why does CW have any obligation whatsoever to flog OD? OD is YOUR mission and that means that&#039;s YOUR job. 






4- insisting that there&#039;s no difference between Bernie/AOC and #MoscowMitch etc simply makes you look silly.






5- OD&#039;s many problems have been repeatedly brought to your attention. Name calling instead of addressing these  issues is really pathetic.






SO WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?





*For example, just the other day I wrote &lt;i&gt;ALAS, I&#039;ve concluded that the Party of F.D.R.&#039;s inability to message for, campaign on and thence to actually represent the interests of ALL Americans is because Establishment Democrats are as owned by Murica&#039;s Ownership Class as are the Repugs.

Greed for ever more riches is common across the political spectrum, and until Establishment Democrats prove otherwise (allowing Bernie&#039;s plan to pass) they&#039;re posers, quite happy to let us plebes fight over social issues while they keep raking in the money.&lt;/i&gt;</description>
