Both parties are corrupted versions of what they were intended to be but only an idiot thinks they're exactly the same.

One party is actively working to f*ck the US citizens over HARD when it comes to net neutrality. The voting history shows this.

I can explain what I mean. What I say is that both sides are equally shitty, but in different ways(I have said this before). This does not mean they are equally for or against every single issue. I am not saying they are evil, but the example I would give if you had two super villains. They are bad, but not all in the same way.
But speaking of net neutrality, I do have a question. What got this ball rolling? I know that the term "net neutrality" isn't new, but it does seem something shifted in the last few years.

It's just you present this like a gotcha, like something I've never said is possible. Like I said, bad in different ways. Democrats fail on the immigration issue IMO.
And yes, I am not afraid to say it: The Republicans should not be in favor of this shit and are wrong if they are. Nor is it the only issue they are wrong on(drugs, for example).
But what about the question I asked?

You may disagree with Democrats on immigration, but that’s not corruption.Corruption is when Trump appoints a corporate hack to head the FCC and then every single Republican unanimously votes for Trump’s FCC net neutrality bill
I understand, I still want to know how we got here though. Do you have any clue? This is what I asked:

Aight Surt, both sides are equally bad? Tell me what democrats have done recently which is worse than net nuetrality.Coz net nuetrality isn't the worst republicans have done recently.
Did Democrats do anything, perhaps in 2015, regarding this, that perhaps set the stage for this?

There is a reason I keep asking them what got this ball rolling lol. And there is a reason they avoided it. They know it wasn't the Republicans. They know exactly who set the stage for this.

I'm hearing shit from Ben Shapiro about stuff like this:
FCC Democrats caved to Obama on net neutrality rules, Senate Republican probe finds
Seems like they set the stage for this.
Oh and just for giggles:
Here Are Obama's 11 Worst Regulations
Number 3:
"3. Net Neutrality. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided to regulate the Internet under Title II of the 1934 Communications Act, subjecting the previously unregulated industry to a wide swaths of regulations, including one that "allows the FCC to prevent any practice by an Internet access provider that the FCC believes will 'unreasonably disadvantage' an Internet user, application, or content provider," according to National Review. Net neutrality will also enable the FCC to becoming the sole authority on "which tradeoffs and business models are acceptable."
"So when providers are unsure about whether a new technology or business model 'unreasonably' harms some Internet constituency, they can submit those prospective plans to the Commission and pray for an affirmative (and timely) advisory opinion," writes George Mason University research fellow Brent Skorup. "These advisory opinions border on Kafkaesque. The FCC can decline the request for an opinion, can permit the innovation, or can require more information from the submitting party. These opaque determinations cannot be appealed, and affirmative decisions can be reversed at the agency’s whim."
I guess I just don't wanna hear whining at Republicans only.
Crowder has a good view on it.
