If we had a truly free markets net neutrality would be bad, because it would kill competition and innovation in people trying to provide a better product. But since we have a government controlled infrastructural already net neutrality probably keeps things a little more free. I am betting most of us have 1 maybe 2 choices for internet in our areas and close to zero competition because the government (local or federal) put barriers in the way of competition. A free market without net neutrality would mean that while COX cable my limit my access to netflix and youtube and lower bandwidth. Stan's internet service could show up and provide a service free of that and thus everyone would go with Stan's versus COX of course we do not have this today so it is a moot point but free markets always beat government controlled markets.
As for Dems or Republicans it doesn't really matter the freedom loving Democrats brought us the V Chip and
