    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.

      “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.

      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.

      We literally didn’t. The rules never took effect.
