Way, way too many websites. I have to research all of them just to use one? I have choice paralysis! The corporations are right, I shouldn’t be trusted to make decisions for myself, and the internet should be like cable.

    This is literally what happens when people defend first-past-the-post! “More than 2 viable choices at the ballot box is scary!” “I need my corporate politicians to protect me from using my brain”

      I’m no fan of FPTP, but that point doesn’t apply here. Democrats have consistently supported Net Neutrality.

      Net Neutrality was first legislated by the Democratic majority in the FCC in 2015. Then it was repealed by the Republican majority, championed by Pai and Carr in 2018. It was reinstated in 2024 when the Democrats regained majority of the FCC.
