Most Americans — Democrats and Republicans alike — want the return of net neutrality, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell won’t give the Save the Internet Act its day in the US Senate.

A year ago, net neutrality died. It was murdered by big telecom and its political allies. No one outside of these companies and their friends like this or wanted it. According to a survey by the Program for Public Consultation at the University of Maryland, “86% oppose the repeal of net neutrality, including 82% of Republicans and 90% of Democrats.”

Another poll from tech research company Comparitech found 80% of Americans support net neutrality. In this survey, almost 87% of Democrats and 77% of Republicans supported net neutrality. I’m hard-pressed to think of any other issue that gets so much support from both blue and red voters in these days of heated political debate.

Despite this bi-partisan support, US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has shown no interest in giving the Save the Internet Act a vote — never mind supporting it. In the House, it passed with a majority of Democrats and a single Republican vote.

Now, Senator Elizabeth Warren and other pro-net neutrality spokespeople are calling out McConnell.
