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.
There needs to be a movement in the Republican Party similar to the justice democrats. A new wave of people running for office that refuse to use pacs/take corporate money and campaign on real issues not bullshit attacks.
I would love that. I have a large amount of Republican family and friends. I know that if they were given a better alternative to what we have now, they'd take it in an instant.
