For 2020, can we please put THESE words in the platform?

[Ken Burch]

"A Democratic Administration will IMMEDIATELY restore the Obama Net Neutrality policies".

Putting that there would guarantee is an overwhelming majority of the votes of those under 30, who would turn out in large numbers, and it would salute the last Democratic president. And we'd lose nothing.

Win-win and not rocket science.

[Renew Deal]

1. Not only should it be in the platform, a wise candidate would run on it.

Democrats should run against Republican misery. Making the internet worse is one of those examples.

[PoorMonger]

2. Right on. Im for it.

You can’t get 81% of Americans to agree on anything, yet that’s the number for those in favor of this.

[PatrickforO]

3. That would be good. What might be better is if Congress

actually legislates Net Neutrality so it has the strength of being the law of the land. This seems to be a bipartisan issue. However, there are 84 people in the US House who are OK with what Pai did. The $ number next to each of the snakes' names is the amount of corruption, uh...I mean donations...each has received from the telecomm industry. Here's the list:

4. I willing to bet the average voter doesn't care...

...and won't, by the time of the Convention have experienced anything they would attribute to it.

[Ken Burch]

5. Have you not noticed the massive number of people in the streets about this?

I'd say as many people care about it as about defending choice(and many of the people who care about defending choice care about this almost as much). It's not as though we gained anything from not committing to preserve Obama policies on this-there are no significant Democratic donors who wanted Net Neutrality gone-the only rich people who wanted it gone are those who only donate to the R's.

For a lot of people under 30, it may be the issue they care about more than any other.

What have we got to lose?

It's not an issue you can triangulate a halfway point on.
