Do Comcast next please. These ISPs are the epitome of corporate greed that Democrats like to complain about yet do nothing.
At&t is migrating (tech and other white collar jobs) from California (a blue state) to Texas (a red state). Could Democrats do more? Of course! But let's not put out the image that it's the Democrats that are solely benefiting them or protecting them.
If anything it's been Republicans that have been giving them tax breaks for decades. After all they do get the bulk political contributions from these monopolistic ISP scum.
HERE is an example of Democrats trying to do the right thing. Then comes a fucking idiot republican who can easily swipe that away, and either make it worse or leave it at a “neutral” state just as it was before.
Every time I see someone invoke a Democrat “doing nothing”, I just can’t help but feel you are absolutely fucking stupid. You have the internet right at your fingertips, and you can easily look something up, like I did above for Net Neutrality, and then easily find why it doesn’t exist any more or why it didn’t make it to law in the first place.
Spoiler alert: it’s almost like reDUMBlicans do everything in their power to prevent actual good laws from passing at every single instance they can. Who would’ve thought, right?
