It’s kinda infuriating that Democrats spend years working tirelessly to undo Republican bullshit, and when they finally do, people are like “but why didn’t you do it sooner?”. Do these people have zero life expense l experience where it’s fucking hard to change institutions?
Comment on FCC to vote to restore net neutrality rules, reversing Trump
ricecake@sh.itjust.works 5 months agoDemocrats were stymied for nearly three years because they did not take majority control of the five-member FCC until October.
Basically they didn’t because Republicans, and then when they could they immediately started the process, since the initial vote was in October and the upcoming vote is to confirm the finalized rules changes.

This is why we argue against incrementalism you absolute punter. Half of the bullshit we suffer under could’ve been avoided if one fucking Democrat had either a sense of urgency or an iota of intenstinal fortitude.

Republicans make everything worse and should be removed from all positions of power.

Worse for the 99% now and for everyone in the long-term. Better for the 1% in the very short-term (one quarter of a year).
Unfortunately, those in the 1% who are concerned with the very short-term future are disproportionately influential.
