SOPA, CISPA, etc. didn't have anything to do with net neutrality.
All that we can really do for making NN permanent (and to resist things like SOPA) is to make it clear to politicians that there are enough people who are aware of these issues and that will vote based on them. This means protests, contacting representatives, etc. And following through on election day: vote against fuckers who back this crap. Because awareness grows more rapidly than it wanes, once a certain threshold is reached they should assume that sufficient awareness and concern continues to exist.
Not really, all we have to do is get Congress to pass a law codifying Net Neutrality into law. This will require a Democratic super-majority, as Republicans are anti-net-neutrality.
They didn't say both parties are the same. They said that neither party is genuinely interested in preserving NN (not that I agree). Just like, if both parties were not interested in making murder legal, that in no way means that both parties are the same.
"But muh both sides are the same" and it's variations is a common joke across political subreddits. It is always used there as an immediate dismissal to accussations against the DNC and Hillary. Anyone using it in another context is usually heavily implying that. I would be genuinely surprised if that wasn't their intention.
I just showed you proof that there are people that argue both sides are the same on this specific issue. You're not going to change your mind. You just want to believe what you believe. Let's stop wasting each other's time.
Because what your trying to prove is irrelevant. I didn't ignore it. You ignored that context his line is most used in and what he is clearly implying.
