The problem is that people can't eat empty words, and it doesn't matter what a lawmaker says they support if they don't do anything meaningful to make it reality.
When I was younger Democrats got me affordable healthcare when I had none.
My vote for them directly resulted in me getting affordable healthcare.
If you bothered to look up the Democrat's voting history, they consistently vote in favor of legislation that benefits average Americans.
I'm glad it worked out for you. It didn't work out for most and this country is still known worldwide for its rate of medical bankruptcies.
The history doesn't matter when you need action now and all they offer is sternly-worded letters.
