You won't have the scary boogeyman any more, and most Americans don't watch Rachel or Lawrence. So, they won't understand the nuance that a parliamentarian ruled against including it in the bill?

If giving the Democrats the presidency and majorities in both chambers of congress does not result in direct improvements in their lives, why should they continue to vote for Democrats?

Please explain that to me.
