*LMAO* You make it out to seem as though congress represents "the people". "Decided by a handful of lobbyists" is way more accurate.

“Bringing power back to the people”
supersomatic
Oh boy. If only you knew how many big issues that exact checklist applies to. You really don't understand your democratic system, do you?
goshdammit
Isn't this exactly why the constitution gives Americans the right to bear arms?
mearas
I feel like US should coup the goverment. You got the right to bear arms and all that.
socalbreeze
Unfortunately I think we could lose a majority of the older voters due to not understanding the situation if it went to a public vote.
kurzonmorris
it was voted by 300+ million people its called the us presidential election.
Evanrudeplz
Republicans. Not even once.
notherlurkergonebezerker
Even the presidential election isn't decided by the 300mil+ people. Trump lost the popular vote by about 3 mil. Here we are.
DoyleMcPoyle
How's that 'freedom' coming, America?
NiggikamEnkiA
. Enjoy capitalism, motherfuckers.
Paasimus
It's not decided by United States. Period. It's an international platform to which no one has right or authority to interfere.
Geracht
Am I the only one who thinks the only way we're going back to net neutrality is if a bunch of executives wind up dead in their homes?
TheRealLurkingSwede
Norhing is desided by the us citizens. Your government is the most corrupt in the whole world. So. Good luck chuck.
TheNLK
Not even close to the most corrupt in the world, but it's pretty bad for a country this developed.
fer0s
What happened to the bitcoin paid assassination page?
fer0s
Just sayin.
knogthebog
Everything Obama implemented Trump removes. Its just payback for the time Obama made fun of him. This is personal for Trump. Not about MAGA.
Khaotix11
I think a lot of the trouble is that these guys don't really understand the internet. /1
Khaotix11
Even Obama, despite the net neutrality thing, still fumbled a bit here and there with regards to the internet.
CrocodileDunphy
It is decided by voters. The party that's wins elections gets to staff regulatory bodies. Not enough voters felt like many on this site.
VoIdemort
So technically if we press the next presidential candidate for net neutrality, we can get it back if we lose it!
InternetLawyer
depending on what congress does, yeah. Just like this president is able to reverse it, another can reverse it again
DamianWinters
So what would happen if say 1 or more of those men got assassinated?
itsabooper
Somebody else takes his place and says no for the same amount of cash?
CrazyGuyOnABike
I imagine there'd be a pretty in-depth FBI investigation into said assassin, which would not go well for them.
Qualtagh
Sorry, gotta downvote you for tag bastardization.

the trick is to never upvote or downvote.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

Okay that actually made me chuckle. Thanks bro I needed that
ilikemostcats
If America fucks up the internet for the rest of the world, it should be considered an act of war.
Brunevde
Please direct the nukes at those in charge kthanks not us poor sad people (or do i don't give a fuck)
SledgeTheFloors
Fuck over the FCC, not us. For some fucking reason it's out of our hands thanks to 5 twats in power over the internet. Fucking insane.
ilikemostcats
out of curiosity... Who is responsible for appointing these 5 twats?
SledgeTheFloors
They are 'appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the United States Senate...' or the, "Who Bought them" club.
Skawomplious
It was decided when the US said "we have to vote for the lesser evil" for 40 years running and we got clinton vs trump.
NKato
Then America voted for the greater evil.
Kyman201
Well technically Trump lost the popular vote. Clearly we need to purge the Electoral College.
PlaceCleverNickHere
Anybody knows the actual argument for dropping net neutrality?
TheRockDude
something about allowing smaller internet providers to better compete with larger ones, is what they claim
ImHereToGetDownvotes
Basically some BS about net neutrality laws hampering the free market. In reality, it's money.
LiteralFish
Same old. For the sake of business. They're "job creaters" so we should worship and serve them
Janusha
These decisions have already been made. Protesting does nothing. In Europe we have strong laws against this kind of corporate oppression.
anunadulteratedmadman
Are you pretending europe is one country and superior in Way X, now?
Khaotix11
It almost is one country at this point. That's why it sucks.

Damn women always saying no.

Who tells you she agreed to what happened ? (Wow, this is a bi dark for Imgur)
myusernamessoundergroundyouprobablyneverhearditbefore
2 no's and a yes is still a yes.
roflsnake
I think they use the hollywood voting system where womens no votes actually mean yes

To you.

The same America public that for whatever reason got trump elected???
Curiousone545
Basically yes. We as a collective whole, need to really start working together and stop believing bullshit. We keep falling for us vs them.
Abracanawbra
Not my fault, blame the electoral college.
Abracanawbra
/s/
arrogantbassturd
Nah that's the electoral college you're thinking of.
Killertortilla
That still could have made a difference if more than half the country voted.
HughWattmeight
Because it's unfair that the hugely populous states on the east and west coasts get to basically control the entire country. Fuck the rest.
DoingItWrongSince1980
You know the states aren't sentient entities right? Just people. You just said it's not fair that the majority gets to decide, f the rest.
HughWattmeight
They are more separate entities than the Norwegian fylkes and that's the same system, purely for preventing cities from having all control.
DoingItWrongSince1980
Because someone else is using the scheme doesn't justify it. A certain 'type' of people tend to live in cities, so their vote is worth less.
imshibagel
Which still 99% of the time reflects the popular vote by district
CabooseLuck
'By district' - because having districts which can be gerrymandered in the first place is a good idea

ensensu
Mr. Krabs is a saint compared with Ajit. He tries to mentor a young sponge for Neptune's sake.
zoomist
At least Mr Krabs is open about his intentions
ColoneISanders
And he loves his mother! I bet that Ajit fuck would sell his mother if it made him a profit or gave him a bigger mug
TemporaryUzername
The genders of who said YES or NO do not matter. Stop making this a gender thing. Just say "people". Isn't this about "neutrality" anyway?
Peytonthedestroyer
I think the point was to give us distinction so if we saw of photo we'd know who's who.
TemporaryUzername
They have names.
Peytonthedestroyer
I dunno. I'm just guessing tbh
HiddenSanity
What matters more if you wanna make it a 'thing' is two dems said no, three repubs said yes
TemporaryUzername
there are repubs that are in favor of net neutrality- so that's not the best way to go about it either.
HiddenSanity
Not many elected repubs.
prolificchicken
even that is sort of needless info because it has been shown that republicans voters also support net neutrality
ForgotMyOtherAcct
It doesn't matter if republican votes personally support anything if they vote for people who don't support the same. If you voted for Trump
ForgotMyOtherAcct
You voted against NN, regardless of your personal feelings on the subject. Feelings don't matter, votes do.
optimistcynic
But it is pretty obvious the republicans that make the decisions don't want it.
TemporaryUzername
But it's also pretty obvious that their decision isn't indicative of every republican, so why mention it as if it is?
FuckPHP
It's indicative of the Republican party.
JustAGuyFromCanada
I'm just a guy from Canada but can you guys please write your congresspeoples or something, if this happens it'll effect us too, thank you
nonamejanie
We trying but they don’t listen unless you got money to line their pockets. It’s awful here right now. Taxes net healthcare. Shitshow trump
villified
I'm also from Canada and nope, it won't
pokenar
I agree, for now, under the current government, but we need to make sure its a talking point next federal election.
DiarrheaTsunami
I wish we could just shoot them.
keyonne
Already have
TheFrozenCanadian
I second this, the entire world will feel this impact
JarJarBinksKisser
Already tried. They are just ignoring comments that don't have any "legal grounds" They are literally not listening to anyones comments.
jammer909
We did. They didn't give a shit. They make money, we get fucked.
NightNga
Italy here, we agree with Canada.
ObsidianGuard
Nope, nothing we can actually do. For a democracy, Americans have surprisingly little power.
MarauderM
The US ain't a democracy, not anymore at least, and I would hesitate to say we ever were, we're an oligarchy ran by the capitalist nobility
Eogos
I mean one of two things are going to happen either it doesn't go through (yay) or riots will happen.

Hopefully the riots do happen tbh. Too many 1%

Madmooch
thought i saw some reply from canadian gov where they said they would leave the internet alone.
freezingpilot
The amount of US companies that might move their servers to Canada would be interesting if NN dies in the US.
omh1
It might not be that numerous, they would still get screwed if most of their customers are US based, if not moving makes sense
stinkysteve
Trudeau has come out in support of net neutrality.
JayEnfield
He's going to do several federal commissions and surveys for a year and then decide that it's too difficult and abandon the promise entirely
omh1
Canada already has some of the best/strictest NN laws in the world, and we don't allow nearly the level of legal bribery the US does
JayEnfield
Got a bit of a chip on my shoulder about the electoral reform getting shoved under a bus.
sirefiresquire
Canada has laws on net neutrality and has been pushing towards neutrality since the bell fiasco, i doubt we would end up rolling back
JayEnfield
Remark was about how electoral reform got fucked up.
ChainmailleAddict
You're thinking about America.
JayEnfield
No, I'm thinking about Trudeau. Got a bit of a chip on my shoulder about the electoral reform getting shoved under a bus.

I called my representative. They hung up on me

Call back send an email write letter don't give up
norrec
:(
WillTheFifth
I asked why he would vote for the tax bill which punishes the poor and students, and urged that he support NN.
JustAGuyFromCanada
Send an email maybe? Those are still free of charge with your internet package? Right? Hehe
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
Which one? I'd like to make them hang up on me too.
