content: Because they are the same thing. They're just playing good cop, bad cop. It was a democratic president who appointed a telecoms lobbyist to head the FCC. We only received any net neutrality laws at all thanks to a completely unprecedented turnout of citizens. And what we did receive is a joke. Comcast is actively capping out customers except for their own services. T-Mobile is charging for "unrestricted" access... with they then throttle down to a max of 480p. Everybody is throttling against Netflix and so on. And the FCC? They seemingly could not care less. It's all a giant charade thanks to corruption. Republicans say they're going to cut back on reckless spending and spend even more than the democrats. Democrats say they care about social programs and then Obama cuts food stamps by $8.7 billion. Even if you personal politics make you agree with that last part, it should be clear evidence that what these parties stand to claim for and what they actually are - actually do - are two entirely different things. It's all in the presentation. Republicans clamor to remove any regulation on environmental protections because "it's good for business" while democrats rejoice over Obama's "landmark environmental treaty with China." Actually read said "environmental treaty" and it lets China increase their pollution to however high they want for the next 14 years - until 2030. It's all just good cop, bad cop. Which is which just depends on your own personal perspective but in the end neither of them are your side.
