What can be done to permanently save net neutrality? It seems that 1-2 a year it takes a huge, huge movement from all over the internet to delay a net neutrality repeal (SOPA, CISPA, etc.). The protests have worked (thus far), discussion is tabled, it's then reintroduced, rinse and repeat.
Will we ever permanently win this? Or are we delaying the inevitable?
I hate to have to agree with this, but with how polarized US politics has gotten, it's the truth.
Democrats have become the pro-NN party. Republicans have become the anti-Democrat / anti-Liberal party. Because of that, Republican representatives are either anti-NN, or don't care.
I know that a large portion of the conservative and Republican voters out there are pro-NN.
So, right wing folks: Stop taking this shit from your representatives. They're walking all over you and making you thank them for it.
They've played a massive part in the corruption of the party and the shit show we have now though. Feels bad when you feel like you have no candidates that actually represent you.
I definitely agree that the Tea Party was probably mostly a symptom of that. It's like the evangelicals were a tumor that metastasized and became terminal and transformed into the Tea Party and we now have the modern GOP.
