Hillary Clinton has been an opponent of net neutrality for years, and if she is elected we may very well be playing defense for 8 years just to keep what we have.
Hillary has a history of being a proponent of net neutrality.

Better examine the intent of "net neutrality".
I have the feeling it is about as accurate a description as "affordable healthcare"
Isn't that an oxymoron, enforcing rules on net neutrality? How can the Internet be a neutral place if there's rules that are enforced when someone breaks what someone else has deemed "wrong"?
I'm not wasting my time arguing about Hillary Clinton. Sorry. Even when her rhetoric matches what we want to hear, she is absolutely untrustworthy and beholden to her corporate masters. She now claims to oppose the TPP, which is the most immanent threat to a free and open internet... Yet as Secretary of State, she called it "the gold standard" of trade deals. She is a snake, and I've already wasted as much time on her as I care to.
I agree with you 100% no argument here... For the record I don't support Trump either. But then the person I posses resides in Canada so... I don't have to, it is a little scary watching the American election process unfold though.
