Net Neutrality Repeal Discussion Thread

If only the shrill corporatist right wing bitch won, this wouldn't be a problem. Thanks to all the jferns and Stein voters of the world!

muhhhh both parties same!

All due respect, but maybe you should save some venom for the neoliberal traitors who voted for Pai's confirmation.

When 100% of Republicans support a bad thing, and like 5% of Democrats support the bad thing, that's not both parties being the same.

I never said that it was. In fact, I fully intend to rejoin the Democratic Party come the midterms. But IceSpear, absurdly, seems to prefer having an aneurysm over Hillary-critical Democrats than the actual Republicans and Democratic traitors responsible for today's vote.

So, what happens when a Democrat wins back the presidency and appoints a new FCC chair? They could just reinstate net neutrality, right?

It'd be political suicide if they didn't. Even Democrats like Gillibrand wanted Net Neutrality.

Washington state doing the right thing.

Gotta love Jay Inslee.

Net Neutrality was instituted because ISPs were starting to abuse their power more and more. Now, they'll start to do it again. And people will wake up and vote in politicians who will reinstate it.

There's actually a bill moving forward in Congress to instate Net Neutrality as the law of the land. When the Democrats retake the houses next year, it's a sure bet to go through.

Millennials have already been recently waking up and starting to go more to the polls. The last thing you fools wanted to do was mess with OUR GOD DAMN INTERNET.

R.I.P.

Seriously, people are wildly underestimating how lethal this could be to the Republicans. All those libertarian-leaning and Bernie-supporting Millennials who either voted for Trump or didn't show up last year are not going to be pleased by this.
