re: #113 abolitionist

I think Ojoe is saying he’s fearful of demagogery —politicians’ rhetoric increasingly similar to proponents of religion, especially those who want to “tear town that wall” of separation.

It’s not demagoguery to point out that poor, working and mid class people are in constant fear of bankruptcy due to a major illness. Or that an insurance system that denies coverage for pre-existing conditions and puts lifetime caps on coverage is devastating to millions.
