2019-2020 US Elections Megathread I- It Begins

[Telconi]

Oh, I'm so glad the state has protected me from not purchasing services I don't want to purchase. how considerate of them.

Except that it wouldn't be things you don't want to purchase. Access to social media is separate from basic service in those countries as is e-mail regardless of site. Have a gaming console or want to use Steam, for instance? That's another $10 a month. Streaming services? Pay extra on top of what you're already paying places like Netflix.

But I don't want most of those things, and under your system I have to buy them anyhow.

[Telconi]

-shrug- Then maybe we could write a bill that implements that?

Yeah, Ajit Pai's gonna do that. And Socialism will work the day afterwards.

Pssst, hey, Ajit Pai doesn't write laws.

Yes, but my point is that you'd be charged extra for the things you need as well as the optionals. You can't seriously tell me that you don't use your e-mail account or don't have so much as a Facebook page. We all do, and in my case, I need them for my livelihood as you need your firearms for yours(no, I won't go into that one, I'm merely pointing out that my job requires the use of the net).

That's what NN does.

Forces the ISP's to treat all data as equal.

It also does an absolute metric duck ton of other stuff.

Does it inconvenience the poor helpless billion dollar ISP corporations and there CEO's who live on the street in there million dollar penthouses?

[Arlenton]

Tom Steyer has started airing “impeach Trump” ads in Iowa. Is he gunna run or???

Who?

Think of everything the Democrats have to do to appeal to the working class whites who switched to Trump in 2016.

Then take the opposite of that and make it into a very unexciting and unlikable person.

Y'know that not every single ramification is only for you, right? You might not want them. Other people do. You're somewhat outnumbered.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Yeah, Ajit Pai's gonna do that. And Socialism will work the day afterwards.

Pssst, hey, Ajit Pai doesn't write laws.

Ajit Pai is also part of the swamp that Trump pumped in instead of draining.

Okay, so then buy it, like how I buy fucking ammo.

"You're not important! I am!!!" what a compelling argument, sir.

[Telconi]

Pssst, hey, Ajit Pai doesn't write laws.

Ajit Pai is a hero.

[Northern Davincia]

^^^

[Arlenton]

Ajit Pai is a hero.

But he killed us all and destroyed the world. Remember?

[Telconi]

It also does an absolute metric duck ton of other stuff.

Does it inconvenience the poor helpless billion dollar ISP corporations and there CEO's who live on the street in there million dollar penthouses?

No, actually it inconveniences normal every day people. But they're just mean old people who like their property intact. And their job to not be unnecessarily stupid.

[Telconi]

Holy Lactating Walruses Batman, look at those multiposts. Help me Ajit Pai, you're my only hope!

[Telconi]

Triple.

[Telconi]

Double.

[Kowani]

Y'know that not every single ramification is only for you, right? You might not want them. Other people do. You're somewhat outnumbered.

Argumentum ad populum.

The point is that when something negatively affects a majority of the population, it's time to stop going "ME ME ME!"

Y'know that not every single ramification is only for you, right? You might not want them. Other people do. You're somewhat outnumbered.

"You're not important! I am!!!" what a compelling argument, sir.

Not me personally. But most of America is, well, how do I say it...im-fucking-portant. And most of these people are benefited by NN. So, if you could stop misrepresenting the argument and dealing with the actual point, that'd be lovely.

[Shrillland]

Okay, so then buy it, like how I buy fucking ammo.

$30 a month can be quite a lot when you're a copywriter and work is slow, particularly in the summer. Granted, ammunition is more expensive and, in California at least, more arduous to obtain, so it wouldn't seem like a big deal. but I will fight to ensure my job is protected as much as you will yours, and if it ensures that people aren't being shafted by big business, then so much the better.

The opposite of one.

Argumentum ad populum.

>Thing that is against what the majority of the population wants gets passed in a democracy
>Majority of the population gets pissed
>Minority uses "tyRaNnY By MaJoRitY"
>Majority rolls eyes

But if the minority gets its way, we can claim tyranny by minority.

Your thirty bucks a month costs some people literally thousands because Title II is a fucking ham-handed way to achieve your goals, and yet nobody gives a shit about the folks getting thrown under the bus so long as they get to stream their pony cartoons unthrottled.

Doesn't inconvenience most people and most people like it.
