The Democratic Party is far from perfect, but anyone who can’t see the difference between them and Republicans is simply not paying attention. It would be hard to find a more perfect example of those differences than last week’s votes in which both houses of Congress voted to allow Internet service providers–like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon–to use and sell user’s private information and browsing history, with or without customer permission. All votes in favor of gutting internet privacy were by Republicans. Not a single Democrat voted in favor of this outrageous gift to the ISPs.
