NeverOffended posted... man people ITT really are dense enough to make this a left vs right issue lol, newsflash we've fought both sides on NN Everything is a left v right issue. As easy as it should be to keep it nonpartisan, people will still make it a partisan issue. Hmm House Vote for Net Neutrality For - Against Republicans: 2- 234 Democrats: 177 - 6 Senate Vote for Net Neutrality For - Against Republicans: 0 - 46 Democrats: 52 - 0 This is my point exactly When a given issue is broached, those with political power don't think, "where do I stand on this particular issue?" They think, "what does my party think about this given issue?" In this issue, the voters aren't thinking, "which do I prefer, a single monthly flat-rate for access to any internet site ever, or getting nickeled and dimed for literally no discernible benefit to myself or any consumer, barring those who work for a large ISP?" They're thinking, "okay the republicans are voting to repeal NN so I need to stick with the party." I don't blame them for sticking with the party, considering they'd get ostracized for going against it, but I'm just trying to take the idealistic approach. Unfortunately, as long as bipartisan politics exist in the US, that will never happen. --- Not removing this until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.
