let's zoom out a bit: this thing where every incoming administration changes the rules that the prior administration established is probably worse than either of the rules being permanent. Don't get me wrong, please. This is, as Richard Lewis put in in Robin Hood: Men In Tights, "a good change". But it seems like the rules are constantly changing and that can't be good for people who are actually making a good faith effort to follow them. Doubly so because this article says that ISPs are going to sue to stop this rule change, and that while courts of the past have ruled that the rules say that this rule can be a rule they might rule that this rule cannot, by the rules, be a rule, overturning their previous ruling on the rules surrounding the rules.
But don't worry, if republicans ever win again they'll just make "republicans win" the rule. That will make things very simple.
Not only is it one party reverting the changes the other made, but it's almost always along party lines. Drives me crazy as no real change will happen so long as Dem are playing defense forever
That... Is the point of conservatism right? No progress.
True, but until there's more than two parties or the Deme start being more aggressive the regressive party will always win long term
I mean... Republicans' rule is objectively bad. Confusion over the rule is not good, but also prevents the bad rule. Maybe I'm weird, but "not bad" seems better than "bad," right?
