It’s called appointing a different republican. It’s not that hard to understand. Jesus.Your point is misleading in that regard but technically accurate. Obama did appoint him at the behest of the republican party and when they won the election they unleashed their lobbyist on our internet.
Because in 2012 the idea was that a Democrat would win to take Obama’s place. That obviously didn’t happen and instead Obama gave into the republicans.Also don't call the president a dog. I don't like him either but he is still human.
I didn’t call Trump a dog. It was an Analogy. I actually don’t mind Trump.
So you are saying he could have appointed a different person which would not have trashes net neutrality which is misleading. The FCC must be half Democrat and half republican with the tie breaker being the chairman who is selected by the president. Members are appointed by the president with Senate approval. The Senate was technically a Democrat majority with 1 vacant seat but as I hope you know a minority of 49 to 50 can raise hell in those Chambers and stall a lot of legislation. He could have fought them and gotten a different corporate lobbyist sponsered by republicans but not a Democrat or even someone moderate. He couldn't see the future. Deal with it and stop blaming someone who has been out of office for a year and a half when the person in office could fix this shit with one phone call right now.
