Good news but does it have a hope of passing the senate let alone the cheto?

"Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Monday that Democrats will introduce a net neutrality bill to replace the open internet rules that were repealed in 2017. In a letter to her Democratic colleagues, Pelosi said a bill called the Save the Internet Act will be unveiled Wednesday and will be introduced in the Senate as well. The text of the legislation has not been released, and it’s unclear what will be included in the bill."

It seems too soon. I don't think that there is enough pain and suffering for people to realize how important this is. We need more widespread abuse for people to actually complain. Of course, those complainers will just be told that it is evil and Socialism and the repeal is good for America.

Are you sure? I mean this is another case where the Democratic position is overwhelmingly popular with the public. People already know net neutrality is good, they never wanted to do away with it to begin with.

The issue isn't public support or even Congress (the Senate voted in favor of a 2018 bill), it's Trump. Unless a bill gets a veto-proof majority, Trump is highly likely to shoot down any net neutrality measure. He loves reckless deregulation backed by corporate bribery, and that's Ajit Pai's FCC in a nutshell.

They'll not only run with it, they'll spread those lies around like it was the truth and nothing but the truth and, like how a minnow being caught in a net ends up being a record breaking whopper of a salmon caught on fly rod after the story gets handed off a dozen times down the line, the net neutrality bill, due to it being a creature created by the demonic Dems will have become a national existential threat to every flat-earther who still insist that their computer monitors have a hidden vid cam leading directly back to Langley.

Will the Senate sign it?
Will the President sign it?

I legitimately don’t know.
