I despise McConnell, but I think it's just as plausible that he genuinely believes that net neutrality goes against his ideology (free market, low regulation) and Comcast et. al. make their donations because his ideology futhers their desired outcomes, as opposed to donating to bring him to their side.

Possibly. But that doesn’t excuse his refusal to have the Senate vote on it.

I would assume the problem is that for the consumers, even if they are a larger group - it’s way more expensive to collect the same amount of money to lobby for the opposite.

So obviously it’s way easier to hold an extremely narrow point of view because it’s so easy to get campaign money for it.

$200,000 is a very small amount of money in grassroot crowdfunding.

Against net neutrality is not "an extremely narrow point of view".

[uabstraction]

McConnell has no ideology besides accumulating power.
