I’m an independent liberal and I’m pretty apathetic about NN (none of the doomsday stuff has manifest, but it doesn’t seem like passing NN would be harmful either and also I would rather solve ISP issues with antitrust regulation). That said, this feels like a straw man or nut picking. I haven’t heard of any conservatives getting mad over this, and anyway there’s nothing inconsistent about arguing that NN at the federal level is a breach of states’ rights while also arguing against California implementing it because you think it’s bad policy.
