We have a monopoly problem with Comcast, etc. so this isn't that complicated. It's an oversimplification to say that net neutrality is going to solve that problem, but I don't think it's an oversimplification to say that people against NN are against solving the problem, and I think most people get that intuitively, even if they don't get the details.
- smsm42 9y ago> but I don't think it's an oversimplification to say that people against NN are against solving the problem You think wrong. Actually, there's three levels of wrong here. 1. Not everybody thinks that government regulations are the best way to solve the problems, especially ones largely created by government regulations. 2. Not everybody thinks that this particular way of regulations that Obama's FCC took is the best way to solve the problem. 3. If people disagree with you about particular way of solving the problem, it doesn't mean they are for not solving the problem. And, of course, most of the population wouldn't change their vote for Senator because of such niche issue, especially if the best argument here is "Comcast is the monopoly, NN wouldn't solve it but if you don't vote for NN it would be bad".
