Oh boy, I can’t wait for nothing of any measurable significance to happen as a result of this.
I hate the cynical nihilism around here so much. It plays into the Republican and big business hands so well it might as well be propaganda.
We had net neutrality before under the Democrats. The Republicans got rid of it when they took power.
Bothsidesism is juvenile bullshit.
Republicans may be greedy and evil but Democrats are fucking useless, and this might surprise you but they’re all getting paid by lobbyists to keep the status quo just like republicans are.
It’s not “bothsidesism” to acknowledge that democrats never actually accomplish what they claim they’re going to, that’s just reality. I’ll vote for them because fuck conservatism, but I don’t have any delusions about them caring about the little guy. They’re just more old money politicians.

We literally didn’t. The rules never took effect.

Tired of this reductionist room temp IQ bullshit.
They both have problems and identifying those issues isn’t claiming they have the same ones or that the issues are equal/pan out.
Republicans are trash because they’re authoritarian, and Democrats are trash because they never follow through with anything or accomplish any kind of actual change.
No one here is trying to say they’re equally bad or bad in the same way, but ignoring the fact that democrats don’t make any attempts at actual change is just being willfully ignorant of their uselessness.
Yep, two sides of the same coin.
Yeah, democrats and republicans are just looking out for different rich people.
If any of the ruling class feel threatened, they just spend a bit 🤏 more to sway public opinion in their favor.
It’s all calculated at this point. Buying the government is just another business expense.
I’m sure you voting for Republicans will stop any measurable progress! Maybe you should stop voting so the government can actually help Americans for once.

They’ll do nothing until there’s a new GOP threat, and then they’ll do nothing and blame it on the GOP. Rinse and repeat. We were never at war with Oceania.
