First-past-the-post voting basically ensures a two party result. Might not be the same two parties forever, but 2 parties nonetheless.
But really, for this issue it is fairly simple: Republicans are generally against net neutrality, Democrats are for it. There is no way in hell someone like Ajit Pai would have been confirmed as FCC Chairman if Democrats controlled Congress.
