I disagree. It's not deflection to look at your alternatives and comment on the fact that none are suitable.
- Can_Not 9y agoAre you saying that Democrats unanimously voted in favor of the Republican tax bill and are also anticipated to for the Republican fake Net Neutrality bill?
- LyndsySimon 9y agoNo - I'm saying that for many people, a Democrat that would vote the way they'd like on this issue would also vote in a way that was opposed to their interests in other matters, some of which they might consider to be more important than NN.
- croon 9y agoYeah, like keeping birth control from women, and blocking sane gun control regulation, and siphoning more money from the middle class to the rich, and keeping gay people from marrying, and scrapping health care safety nets. I disagree that that's comparable.
