So a government agency completely ignored the people, lied to the people, and voted against the best interests of the people. You think anyone in Congress will do anything or even do their bullshit dog and pony show to pretend like they're doing something?
I am SHOCKED. SHOCKED I say.

At any rate, as long as Congress is run by Republicans, nothing will happen.
Because they're the evil party? Because they're in bed with telecom? Because the Democrats are the "good guys"?

Well, let's see. 1) They run Congress now and are doing nothing about it. 2) The FCC, when run by Democrats, instituted net neutrality, 3) The FCC, when run by Republicans, repealed net neutrality.

I mean... are you seeing an entirely different world somewhere?

Senate net neutrality vote: 52-47 (49 Democrats + 3 Republicans voting for it): http://thehill.com/policy/technology/38 ... lity-rules

My question wasn't an attack. So cool your jets.

I was simply curious if you were joining a "my side does everything right and yours does everything wrong" bandwagon based upon your comment.

Why didn't the Democrats beat this issue into the ground for midterms?

What the hell was last night? Elections took place right?

Were those just the stupid "one ticket" primaries?

Ohio had a special election for one congressional district. Everyone else had primaries, as far as I know.

I think four states had legit things going on, based upon the headlines I'm seeing.

I just find it too hard to care anymore. They're all scumbags and none have our best interests in mind.

If your concerns don't come wrapped in a roll of hundreds, they truly don't care.

Why am I always voting in local ones during the spring?

ALL elections should be on one day a year. It should be a national holiday.

They might be about to do so. I've already been seeing leftists arguing that Twitter's refusal to ban Alex Jones from their platform is proof as to why we need net neutrality.

I was implying you'd have the primaries the prior year.
