The Federal Communications Commission is about to start winding down a program that gives $30 monthly broadband discounts to people with low incomes, and says it will have to complete the shutdown by May if Congress doesn’t provide more funding.

    Dems when in power: There’s is nothing we can do.

    Dems when out of power: we aren’t in power There’s nothing we can do.

    Republicans are like hitting the gas to the right and fascism, and dems are like switching to neutral and coasting.

      D’s when controlling govt: Create stuff like this (plus terribly advertise it). R’s when controlling govt: Kill stuff like this (plus tax cuts for wealthy, destroy govt). Very predictable. Easy choice.

      I get that people want to see D’s fight harder and not be a bunch of weak cowards, though.
