Why would people vote for a Party that does not have their back?

with most voters. They are going to hear/see that Democrats went along with Repugs in spiking their ACA prices. That will be their take-home.

And those ruinous ACA prices will persist through the next election and beyond.

One can insist that they are wrong all one likes (and even be correct in that), but being self-righteous won't change their mind or their vote/nonvote.
