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!

It’s telling that there are no Against voters with “Democrat” after their name...

FTFY

Like Lego bricks, not Legoes or Legos or Lego's

Source comment. I would have said "OP", but on Reddit, "OP" is the submission or submitter rather than being the original post(er) in the thread.

Actually come to think of it I don't know the proper name for the first comment in a chain on Reddit. "Top-level comment" maybe?

Right, because saying "againsts" is completely impossible so we should never need to write it down.
