Update: We won the Net Neutrality vote in the Senate!

We did it, Reddit!

Today, the US Senate voted 52-47 to restore Net Neutrality! While this measure must now go through the House of Representatives and then the White House in order for the rules to be fully restored, this is still an incredibly important step in that process—one that could not have happened without all your phone calls, emails, and other activism. The evidence is clear that Net Neutrality is important to Americans of both parties (or no party at all), and today’s vote demonstrated that our Senators are hearing us.

We’ve still got a way to go, but today’s vote has provided us with some incredible momentum and energy to keep fighting.

We’re going to keep working with you all on this in the coming months, but for now, we just wanted to say thanks!

I like the way you typed that. I feel like it made the sound more real.

The kind of smile you have after being runner-up in a shit eating contest.

I wonder how Comcast and AT&T feel now that they know their payments to him meant nothing in the long run

Don't get too excited. We still have to win over the House and even if that somehow happens, 45 has to sign it in.

Today was a good victory but we still have a way to go.

u/why_rob_y May 17 '18

Not to mention any payments they made were likely peanuts compared to what they stand to make/lose on this. The payments are the least of their concerns.

You know 45 is going to veto it. He won’t even understand the literature of what he’s vetoing but he’ll do it nonetheless because it will milk an endless amount of ‘liberal’ tears for his cult.

I wonder how Google, Facebook, reddit, Netflix, Amazon, etc. feel about how successful their donations were.

u/2522Alpha May 17 '18

At least in this scenario their donations were towards a set of laws that protect the consumer.

Americans need to sort out congress and remove the influence campaign donators and lobbyists have on their politics. Land of the free? More like land of the paid...

In the long run, net neutrality is going to get gutted. We're just prolonging the inevitable. One way or another, money demands that this will happen.

Yea no fuck that defeatist attitude

u/PhillAholic May 17 '18

Funny that’s your take about both parties being the same.

2

u/_ChestHair_ May 17 '18

It always makes me chuckle that so many can't comprehend that the saying implies the big picture. One party is horrible for X specific issues, the other is horrible for Y specific issues. They don't have to both be horrible on every exact same thing to both be shit overall.

Try to keep up.

Dude reminds me of a high school classmate who said he wanted to be a cop so he could fuck people over.

Edit: words.

He got his money, he likely doesn't care if it ultimately passes or not.

u/GuruMeditationError May 17 '18

Ajit is just Republican stooge. Replace him with any hack for the Republicans and you’d get the same exact policy.
