RE: The Senate will vote to REINSTATE net neutrality...and it will fail!
The fact that lobbyist have this much of an influence on the legislation is one of the integral flaws of the American governmental system. The only way we can have stuff like this change is to change the core way that our government works. People say that and individual can make a difference but truthfully I think when ISP's sink millions of dollars to influence certain decision it causes the opinions of the people to become ignored.
yeah, no doubt about it. Changing campaign finance laws as well as instituting instant runoff voting (also known as ranked choice voting) would immediately change so much about our system (for the better, I would argue)
Better yet, term limits for all elected officials. No more than one term. Combine that with a third party oversight committee to handle ethics violations and minimum 25 year sentences for any person convicted by that committee of a violation.
