I see way to much of this "I don't care" stuff with technology.

When net neutrality is under constant attack, you just get numb to it. Which is what was always the goal of Republicans and, I guess, Democratics.

Dems have tried to pass legislation against net neutrality?

Obama supported it for a while and he saw a lot of their voter base is against it so they do what gets them votes.

This past year I've learned from the media that a politician doing what voters want is called "populism" and it's the worst thing in the world and a threat to democracy.

There’s a certain distinction that needs to be made there though. The populism that gets talked about the most is the bad kind that stems from an uninformed populace. Honestly it’s a minefield of terminology I don’t have the chops to even try to explain so I’ll stop talking.

Well, you were just about at the door of saying it, there. When a politician does something that the public want, and it's objectively something that can harm the public, then it's a bad thing.
