> relies on a wholly imaginary choice between net neutrality and the the rights you would prefer

This isn’t how politics works. Crowding out an issue with a filibuster is a valid political tactic. Net neutrality seems, to me, like that when it comes to ISP regulation.

This is how politics works. We have a maximum of 535 law makers with out 18,000 staffers. The reason there is constant discussion about net neutrality is because it is real and actual. There is no connection whatsoever abandoning the actuality of net neutrality and the fanciful notions you imagine would be virtuous. There is no reason to imagine your ideas are ever liable to be made real even if useful.

Abandoning the actual for the fanciful nets us only a loss of both.
