Comment on The FCC is so swamped with net neutrality comments, it’s extending the deadline

Comments

Public comments are the scraps we cling to when we aren't allowed to vote on things or chose who represents us.

If we had proportional representation, I'd vote for whoever is closest to my views and best able to represent them.

A representative that works for everybody in a district doesn't represent anybody in particular, except those who contribute to expensive campaign required to get a majority of the votes.

PR gets rid of the need to win a majority and the ability of lobbyists to buy off a single winner per district.
