Senate confirms Biden FCC nominee, finally giving Democrats a 3-2 majority
Senate confirms Biden FCC pick as 5 Republicans join Democrats in 55-43 vote
Anna Gomez confirmation means "FCC can act swiftly to restore net neutrality."
Oh boy, I can't wait for nothing of any measurable significance to happen as a result of this.
They'll do nothing until there's a new GOP threat, and then they'll do nothing and blame it on the GOP. Rinse and repeat. We were never at war with Oceania.
Ding! Ding! Ding! You’re both winners! We all lose
"Nothing will fundamentally change."
I hate the cynical nihilism around here so much. It plays into the Republican and big business hands so well it might as well be propaganda.
We had net neutrality before under the Democrats. The Republicans got rid of it when they took power.
Bothsidesism is juvenile bullshit.
Republicans may be greedy and evil but Democrats are fucking useless, and this might surprise you but they're all getting paid by lobbyists to keep the status quo just like republicans are.
It's not "bothsidesism" to acknowledge that democrats never actually accomplish what they claim they're going to, that's just reality. I'll vote for them because fuck conservatism, but I don't have any delusions about them caring about the little guy. They're just more old money politicians.
"Bothsidesism" is the feeble howl of the malfeasant in the face of their entitlement getting shoved back in their faces. Your guy, your segregationist, rich donor-loving, weirdo rapist is not entitled to my support; regardless of who he squares up against.
We had net neutrality before under the Democrats
We literally didn't. The rules never took effect.
I'm sure you voting for Republicans will stop any measurable progress! Maybe you should stop voting so the government can actually help Americans for once.

Want people to stop saying it, start making changes
¯(ツ)_/¯
Tired of this reductionist room temp IQ bullshit.
They both have problems and identifying those issues isn't claiming they have the same ones or that the issues are equal/pan out.
Republicans are trash because they're authoritarian, and Democrats are trash because they never follow through with anything or accomplish any kind of actual change.
No one here is trying to say they're equally bad or bad in the same way, but ignoring the fact that democrats don't make any attempts at actual change is just being willfully ignorant of their uselessness.
Yep, two sides of the same coin.
Yeah, democrats and republicans are just looking out for different rich people.
If any of the ruling class feel threatened, they just spend a bit 🤏 more to sway public opinion in their favor.
It's all calculated at this point. Buying the government is just another business expense.
It's just the cost of 'doing business' for them.
