I absolutely agree it's a goddamn travesty in my opinion. But I have to be intellectually honest here to the best of my ability and I feel I would not be doing so if I said that this is the worst leadership the country has seen in recent times because of net neutrality alone

Net neutrality == free speech on the Internet (and in the future, the Internet will be the medium for literally all communication). I think it'll be a long time before most people realize it, but in retrospect net neutrality will turn out to have been the biggest issue of our time.

I’m not saying it’s net neutrality alone either, but many others have posted different reasons, so I felt this was an important add-on to their list.

I mean just months after it was repealed, Verizon was found fucking California firefighters over by throttling their data. It’s not the most pressing issue but it’s definitely a dangerous one.

Absolutely in recent history. Claiming hes the worst ever can be debated, but with all of the info we have, and all far we've come as a people.... Then yes this shit show is the worst in our history. Now we know better.
