Senate confirms Biden FCC pick as 5 Republicans join Democrats in 55-43 vote. Anna Gomez confirmation means “FCC can act swiftly to restore net neutrality.”::Anna Gomez confirmation means “FCC can act swiftly to restore net neutrality.”
The only time we ever had net neutrality it was under a “centrist.” And yes, we will have it again, until another republican wins because actual centrists - people who equate both parties at every opportunity - didn’t vote, and encouraged people not to because it’s all “pointless.”
(Btw you are the enlightened centrist)
Also, people who reliably vote tend to get the policies they want. People who don’t vote tend to complain the most about not getting what they want.
What’s your take on separating an ideology from its proponents? Because while centrism in principle isn’t necessarily bad, I most frequently see self-described centrists equating people, usually on the left, protesting against a bad thing with people, usually on the right, doing the bad thing that’s being protested against, as a way of arguing that nothing should be done about those bad things. And that is a position that ultimately only runs interference for people doing bad things.
